March 17, 2025 | TakayaEstimated reading time: 1 minute

TEXMAC, the exclusive authorized distributor of Takaya flying probe test systems in North and South America, will launch the company’s new APT-2400F/APT-2600FD Series flying probe tester in Booth #3530 at the IPC APEX Expo March 18 – 21, 2025 at the Anaheim (CA.) Convention Center.
In making the announcement, Roy McKenzie, Takaya Group Manager, said “The new APT-2400F/APT-2600FD Series reliably detects all defects in mounted printed circuit boards with ultra-high-speed.”
“This new series boasts the industry’s highest class of probing accuracy for inspection of high-density circuit boards. Moreover, the company’s unique control mechanism and sensing technology enable highly reliable electrical inspection in any environment.” He added, “In addition, the user-friendly interface contributes to reducing the load and improving the efficiency of the operator.”
According to David Levine, TEXMAC-Takaya US Western and Brazil Region Manager, “In PCB manufacturing, the demand for inspection accuracy and efficiency is rapidly increasing, due to the increasing performance and miniaturization needed to mount a large number of components in a confined space. Takaya’s latest model, the APT-2400F/APT-2600FD Series brings together the industry’s highest levels of technology in response to these industry demands.”
He adds that the APT-2400F/APT-2600FD Series is equipped with state-of-the-art inspection technology that enables high-precision checks of precise component placement and connections. “We didn’t overlook even the slightest defects or risks and strongly support the improvement of product quality. In addition, its unique control mechanism and sensing technology enable highly reliable inspections even in fluctuating environments, which is expected to contribute to quality control by reducing recall risks. Consider it the new standard for industry-leading quality control.”
Roy McKenzie states that “The new APT system features a user-friendly interface that can be operated intuitively. It also contributes to improving productivity by ensuring high inspection accuracy while reducing the overall burden, especially at sites where labor shortages are becoming more commonplace. It is flexible enough to respond to the global market and strongly supports the establishment of a production system that responds to rapidly increasing demand.”
