Seica SPA Broadens Automation Solutions
November 14, 2005 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
STRAMBINO, Italy — Seica SPA introduced several products within its VIVA Integrated Platform, including the Strategy.sl, a full automated in-circuit/functional bed-of-nails tester; the Pilot VIP system, an automated flying probe tester for loaded boards; the S24 BBT flying probe tester for board boards; and the Firefly laser selective soldering system.
The Strategy.sl integrates in-circuit, functional and visual test solutions on an automated SMEMA standard conveyor for loading and unloading boards under test. This system is suitable for integrating into a completely automated production line, or standalone test island. The system is also hardware- and software-compatible with other standalone Strategy testers.
The Pilot VIP Flying Probe system integrates a full set of next-generation test tools and methods. It includes a SMEMA conveyor that is user-programmable to suit various manufacturing/test process layouts. The system also includes hardwar and software features of the company's VIVA Integrated Platform (VIP), and can cover a range of in-circuit and functional test, as well as capabilities such as AOI inspection, boundary-scan and on-board programming.
The S24BBT Bare Board Tester for bare PCBs is an automated solution connected to the Multi-type Board Handler targeting the high-mix/low-volume manufacturing market. The large, 610- × 610-mm test area allows for testing of all board types and sizes.
Based on the VIVA Integrated Platform, Seica's Firefly laser selective soldering system offers a three-step process for generating, verifying and running a soldering program, as well as other software tools that can be used to optimize system flexibility and performance. The integrated temperature-control system provides feedback during the soldering process with a real-time, on-screen display of thermal profiles. Firefly also features a SMEMA conveyor system.
