FLYING PROBE SYSTEM
The PILOT V8
HR
NEXT>SERIES is based on the Seica VIP platform, which
includes the innovative NEXT> software. Test program development is
organized in 3 simple steps: “Prepare”, “Verify” and “Test”, where the user is
guided through a series of automated operations in an intuitive, self-explanatory
environment, drastically reducing programming time and minimizing errors and
omissions, ensuring the quality of the final test program.

Current electronics trend shows a major direction for the board production:
miniaturization. More products have now very small dimensions and the
request of testing becomes more demanding on mechanical aspects than
in electrical measurement difficulties.
What is MEMS Technology?
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, or MEMS, is a technology that in its
most general form can be defined as miniaturized mechanical and electro-
mechanical elements.
The technological challenge, in testing these objects, finds a solution in the
CAD data management expertise, with the target to generate automatically
a test program, starting from a mix of electrical and mechanical information.
The solution for this application is the flying probe technology, integrating
the high accuracy of positioning probes on the UUT and the capability of the
probe to land with a perfect control of the pressure.
Based on the consolidated and complete solution of the Seica Flying Probes
line, the
PILOT V8
HR
NEXT> SERIES includes the performance of a
10 MegaPixel High Resolution camera and a dedicated Z-axes control.
The
PILOT V8
HR
NEXT> SERIES vertical architecture is the optimum
solution for probing both sides of the UUT simultaneously. The reliable and
repeatable dual-side probing increases test accessibility and flexibility, while
guarantees the complete continuity tests from side to side of the UUT.
The vertical architecture represents the unique technology overcoming the
intrinsic limitations of the horizontal systems. The requirement for standard
ICT & Functional testing of the DUT is still part of the basic requirement and
is satisfied using the Seica proprietary hardware: ACL measurement card
with 18 bit resolution and switching matrix allow to reach most the testing
requirement, remaining a solid base for any future expansion capabilities.
The test techniques of the include:
• FNODE signature analysis on the nets of the UUT
• Standard analog and digital in-circuit test
• Vectorless tests (JSCAN and OPENFIX), to test ICs for opens and shorts
• PWMON net analysis for power on the boards
• Continuity test to detect open tracks on the PCB
• Visual tests for component presence/absence and rotation
• Optional Thermal Scan Resources
• ALI: Automatic Laser Inspection for testing the presence / absence of
components and for warpage compensation.
