PRODUCTION BOARD TEST
Teradyne TestStation In-Circuit Test Solutions
Delivers High Productivity with Lower Capital and Operating Costs Modern PCBA manufactures constantly juggle the challenges of production, volume & mix changes, product complexity, final yield, and production operating expense. The manufacturing test stage is often a bottleneck to productivity. Using 2 or more manual test systems to keep up with production takt time requires WIP buffers to maintain productivity. Adding the required operators, fixtures, and floorspace increases operating costs further. Do More with Less TestStation production test systems are designed for speed, coverage, and single insertion performance. A single TestStation automated system typically replaces 3 or more manual test systems with residual capacity to spare. With smaller footprints, greater productivity, and a range of test features like device programming and functional pre-screen, a single TestStation system eliminates wasted floorspace, multiple operators, and extra sets of test tooling & fixtures. TestStation In-Circuit Solutions are easily configured to any volume, test complexity, and automation requirement for today’s electronic manufacturing, with system form-factors optimized for panelized, single piece and large PCBA test. Each system can support common pincards, test software, power supplies, and feature options.
Features • 8-wire in-circuit measurement system for extreme accuracy • SafeTest digital subsystem reacts to backdrive conditions in real time • Scalable system configurations span high complexity, volume & mix • Built-in support for Device Programming, Functional Test, Framescan & Powered Framescan
Capable, Flexible, Scalable
• SafeTest digital subsystem reacts to backdrive conditions in real time
TestStation systems deliver full in-circuit structural defect detection and component validation with the highest fault coverage for all active and passive devices. TestStation supports comprehensive test Boundary Scan devices, digital and hybrid ICs, and memory/power components. Panel test and variant management features simplify test of multiple board revisions and Multi-Site models are ideal for high volume applications.
• “Copy-Exact” test results worldwide
Manage mix, complexity, and board size from a few dozen test points to a several thousand in one TestStation system. Ability to add a second, parallel or asynchronous site, to double system hourly productivity with no incremental fixtures, staff or system footprint growth. All TestStation systems share common software, programming, user interface and system training to preserve your prior/future investments in production test.
