Teradyne Makes Flying Prober Enhancements to Meet Manufacturing Demands of Shorter New Product Life Cycles
Summary
"By leveraging hardware capabilities that already exist on the FP1004, manufacturers are able to integrate the Flying Prober with factory automated lines," Bouskela says. The menu-driven, graphical presentation of the operating system makes it intuitive for programmers reducing training and accelerating the debug process. This technique enables the Flying Prober to detect opens on integrated circuits, including BGAs and devices with heat sinks. According to Teradyne, it was the first major, global automatic test equipment (ATE) company to offer a Flying Prober. The Teradyne Flying Prober offers rapid program development cycles, high power-off in-circuit fault coverage, precise, repeatable probing accuracy for fine-pitch SMT assemblies, and an available probing area to accommodate handling large boards.
