SPEA Flying Probe Tester

Replaceable Bed-of-Nails Tester

The SPEA flying probe tester can easily replace the original bed-of-nails for mass production;

80 boards tested per hour, over 630,000 boards tested annually, with automatic online loading and unloading in 2.5 seconds;

Actual data is based on a panel containing 4 single boards, 950 nodes, and 700 components;

Reliability of Micro Pad Contact

The precision of probe contact allows our equipment to reliably contact tiny SMD components, Probe Card connection pins, and male/female connectors (e.g., backplane testing);

Minimum pad size of 50μm, achieving a probing accuracy of 10μm;

No Fixture Costs Required

With SPEA's flying probe tester, customers can eliminate all related costs;

Fixture development and production, laboratory testing during product development (SPEA flying probe is always ready for testing), fixture multiplication for multiple production lines;

If the product layout changes, fixtures would have to be redesigned, but fixture maintenance and periodic replacement are saved;

Reduce Market Returns

SPEA testers can measure key parameters of critical components in online circuits (e.g., power devices, sensor devices, drive devices), effectively identifying defective components (causing premature failure) and reducing market returns;

Early fault detection reduces economic losses in subsequent stages/processes, simplifies functional testing equipment, and reduces functional testing time;

Precision Probing of Tiny SMDs

Miniaturization does not stop, and SPEA's flying probe equipment is fully prepared for the future. Linear optical encoders on each X-Y-Z axis enable precise positioning, providing real-time feedback on probe position;

High-performance linear optical encoders on XYZ axes for precise contact with micro-SWD (008004) pads;

Reliable testing of flexible/thin printed circuits, stability in long-term position measurement of flexible/PCBs;

High-speed soft-landing technology: no contact damage, no pressure on PCBs and micro-SMDs;

Measurement Accuracy

The shorter the distance between the probe and the measurement unit, the more accurate the measurement. Based on this obvious circuit principle, SPEA designed this unique flying probe tester;

Drive and measurement units are integrated into each flying probe head, effectively improving measurement speed and performance;

High measurement performance and accuracy (0.1pF), signal integrity, no measurement signal attenuation or interference, real-time signal acquisition;

Visual Programming

Automatically generate test programs within minutes, with or without CAD files, reducing test program generation time by 50% with the new S2 system control;

Fast, complete automatic debugging and optimization;

Software for automatic repair of circuit boards, automatic import of X-Y files, compatibility with built-in self-test (BIST), user-friendly and intuitive graphical interface, control software for monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing production processes;
