APEX EXPO 2020: Digitaltest equips for the future

Switch to Digitaltest – without fixture costs and program conversion effort

Because they have a pure 1:1 pin architecture (no multiplexing of pins), Digitaltest test systems are the most flexible on the market. This allows easy and fast fixture design as well as fixture and test program conversion from old systems. Digitaltest demonstrates how existing fixtures and test programs can be easily continued to be used on new systems with the help of a hardware converter.

Digitaltest fixture without long waiting times

Due to the general increase in demand and the associated supply bottlenecks at fixture houses, Digitaltest has expanded its own fixture service. Highly qualified and experienced mechatronics engineers are providing a high level of precision of 20 μm with the latest available mechanical and machining tools. Digitaltest checks the fixture design, makes a PCB analysis and each fixture is tested on the corresponding Digitaltest system before delivery. The high quality fixtures are produced with fixture kits from renowned fixture manufacturers, which you can see at the booth at the Apex.

Universal Flying Prober with higher test coverage

The Condor Flying Probe can be used universally for all test strategies: both in series production as well as in-line system, for testing prototypes in small series with manual loading or for functional tests. It offers a test platform that can map all tests, from simple in-circuit tests and functional tests to BoundaryScan and PowerUp, on one system. With its "one-stop" test strategy, all tests in production can therefore be tested at single test station. Through a suitable fixture concept from Digitaltest, both test depth and throughput can be increased. This results in a much higher error coverage – and all without additional costs for equipment, production area and staff.

At Apex, Digitaltest will also be demonstrating how the new LED tests with colour recognition and light intensity work on the Condor Flying Probe.

Parallel testing for faster handling of test tasks

With the Digitaltest Sparrow MTS 30 Lambda edition, cycle times can be shortened easily, and throughput increased. This improvement in productivity can be achieved by testing two different PCBs at the same time. The parallel testing concept can also be implemented with several boards and can also be implemented with all Digitaltest ICT test systems with the Lambda edition. An ICT or function test is carried out by two or more independent test heads, thereby reducing the test time by the corresponding factor. This applies to panels as well as to several independent individual boards.
