Reading time ( words)

Bay Area Circuits, Inc. has purchased a Rapid 270 bare-board tester as announced by Seica Inc's sales representative in Northwestern USA, Zero Defects International. This tester will augment a Seica S240 fully automated tester which has been in use at Bay Area Circuits for the past four years. The Rapid 270 vertical system is equipped with 8 independent measurement probes enabling high speed testing and was delivered to Bay Area Circuits pre-configured for full automation functionality.

“The performance and reliability of our existing Seica S240 were key factors in selecting the Seica 270 to expand our testing capabilities,” said Stephen Garcia, President of Bay Area Circuits. “Both Seica and Zero Defects have provided us with an outstanding level of service and support over the years and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them both.”

I have always felt that automation has the potential to make a big difference in our PCB industry, especially domestically, where labor is at premium. For the past year, I have been looking for the story of how automation can and will make a significant difference in established PCB shops. I was fortunate enough to find that story in Multicircuits, located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Only a few short years ago, this company was considered a “plain vanilla” PCB fabricator holding its own in our industry; now it has suddenly assumed a true leadership position in the industry in terms of capability, technology, operations, and profitability.
