Dedicated Testers
-
Dedicated Testers are often inexpensive due to their low test point requirements, which allow for a reduction in switch cards, especially when compared with a Universal Tester. Ease of setup is accomplished through the utilization of transfer connectors between the fixture and the machine. However, this can contribute to a higher fixture cost than typically seen with a Universal Test Fixture due to the nature of their construction which is labor intensive.

Fault ID & Repair
-
As a manufacturer of bare PCBs, you know that your reputation sits right on top of every board you send out. You have to get them right, but with every PCB you discard, you’re throwing away precious labor, materials, power and time, along with many other costly elements that go to make up your products. That’s why it’s important to know which of your flagged boards are in fact electrically sound, and whether repair is a viable, reliable option.
