Nextek announces Flying Probe capability

February 1, 2021

Nextek, Incorporated- Huntsville, Alabama – Nextek is pleased to announce the addition of Flying Probe capability within our factory through the addition of a SPEA FP 4060 S2 Flying Probe Tester.  This test system provides full accessibility and parallel testing through the following:

DUAL-SIDE FLYING PROBING: Four top-side and two bottom-side moving heads make 4060 S2 able to perform flying probe test on both sides of the board simultaneously, increasing throughput and test capabilities.

BOTTOM MULTI-PROBE FLYING HEADS cover the most comprehensive test needs. In addition to electrical probes for electrical tests, the two bottom multi-probe flying heads can move high-speed power probes, support rods, hi-res cameras, multi-probes, laser and LED probes, and electro scan probes.

MULTI-MODE PROBING: While using the 4 top-side probes to perform flying probe test, a bottom moving platform can be used for bed-of-nails fixtures, multiple high-current power supplies, digital I/O, and high-speed signals. The dynamic planarity supports allows you to reliably test large and thin boards, avoiding PCB vibrations due to probe strokes.

According to Justin Langford, Director of Business Development and Programs at Nextek, “The addition of Flying Probe capability is in direct response to a growing need we recognized across our customer base and we feel it will be a tremendous complement to our Quick-Turn Prototype Business Unit.  This will provide a viable option for customers who have PCBAs in the early NPI phase that need to be tested before final FCT/ICT programs have been developed.”
