(pressebox) Benediktbeuern, 15.04.2009, Seica’s innovative test solutions are being used across the globe to improve quality, increase productivity and save money in automobile, military and consumer markets. Seica SpA is a leading Italian manufacturer of versatile ATE and production systems for electronics and will exhibit at Nepcon Shanghai the latest addition to its line of flying probe test systems that differs from traditional designs:
The Pilot VIP represents the best solution for those wishing to fully automate the flying probe test process, eliminating the need for continuous operator presence in order to manage the test system. Thanks to its integrated SMEMA conveyor, the Pilot VIP can be combined with automatic load/unload magazines or lines, executing in-circuit/functional/visual tests of electronic boards in a completely automated mode, integrating all its measurement capabilities and techniques in a single test program.
The horizontal architecture of the Pilot VIP , which includes the automatic conveyor and board clamping system, also enables the use of frames/carriers and/or support fixtures which facilitate the use of fixed channels, Openfix sensors and power connections in order to maximize test program fault coverage. These fixed resources are positioned on the elevator platform under the UUT, which enables them to be applied in the automatic mode with no need for further operator intervention.
Its 610 x 610 mm test area allows Pilot VIP to handle even big boards or board panels, and the extensive expandability of the ATE rack can hold up to 1032 analog channels, connectable to an external bed of nails test fixture (TPM) coupled to the system. In fact, the VIP SW platform allows the user to run the same test program using the flying probes or a bed of nails fixture, depending on his production requirements.
The PILOT VIP, like all Seica products, is based on the Seica VIPT platform with its innovative coverage, guiding the user through a series of automated operations in an intuitive, self-explanatory environment, drastically reducing programming time and practically eliminating the possibility for error and omissions.
STRATEGY In-Circuit/Functional Tester
Another highlight in this year’s booth is aimed at manufacturers interested in functional test. Seica has developed a series of turn-key solutions based on the Strategy line of test systems. The solution on display, the Strategy specifically addresses the test requirements for products in the consumer and automotive markets.
The Strategy has all the power and flexibility required to provide a complete test solution: from traditional in-circuit testing, to low voltage/power analog functional tests, all the way up to high frequency digital functional tests with diagnostics guided by a mathematical. simulator.
Seica’s Strategy line with its ICT, On Board programming, End of Line Functional test and Burning test, will offer a complete solution for every test requirement of automotive customers.
Most important features are:
- Maximum 8192 test pins
- Fiber optics bus
- Synthethic instruments
- DSP hardware core
- Functional, in-circuit and vectorless test
- Mechanical receiver powered with compressed airÜber Seica Deutschland
