We received the 55th Industrial Design Award IDEA.

Design philosophy focused on the future of the industry has been highly praised and has won a prestigious design award.

The "APT-2600FD" dual-side flying probe tester has received the "Nikkankogyo Shimbun 110th Anniversary Award" at the "55th Mechanical Industry Design Award IDEA" hosted by the Nikkankogyo Shimbun. The "APT-2600FD" dual-side flying probe tester is an in-circuit tester that accurately inspects the continuity and resistance values of printed circuit boards. The "flying probe" testing technology, which uses high-speed contact probes, was developed by Takaya as the world's first and continues to hold a top-class share globally. This product has undergone a model change for the first time in ten years, incorporating numerous advanced technologies, including sophisticated control functions to prevent board damage and a high-resolution image inspection system. It achieves a balance between inspection accuracy and work efficiency, establishing a new standard for quality assurance in electronic device manufacturing. This award is a testament to the high evaluation of our technological capabilities and product design, serving as a significant encouragement for further technological innovation in the future. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those involved in the development, manufacturing, and implementation of this product, as well as to the judges who provided valuable feedback and evaluations during the award process.
