In-Circuit and Flying Probe

In-Circuit Test (ICT) is an additional testing tool offered by Axiom. This is via traditional bed of nails in-circuit test equipment and Flying Probe (fixtureless) test equipment which looks for typical issues like short circuits, open circuits, and incorrect components.

Benefits include:-

• Efficient means of finding component and manufacturing faults prior to functional test
• Good fault detection and isolation
• Cost effective
• Increase productivity
• Improved test costs
• Improved first time yield
• Reduced downtime
• Captures design and / or manufacturing faults
• Test results are easily interpreted

Flying Probe

• No fixtures are required and can hit much smaller contact targets than bed of nails testers
• Excellent for low volumes and prototype production
• Low set up costs

ICT

• Short test times
• Good for higher production volumes

Platforms include:

• Okano
• Teradyne
• Wayne Kerr (Cimtek)
• Flying Probe Takaya APT-9411 with UGS Techmatix software
