Greensource Fabrication Boosts HDI E-Test Capabilities with New atg A8a Tester
July 26, 2018 | atg Luther & MaelzerEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
atg Luther & Maelzer GmbH, confirms delivery of high-speed bare board testing technology to highly advanced HDI and Microelectronic PCB fabricator, GreenSource Fabrication LLC, in Charlestown, New Hampshire.
Consistent with the on-going investment in the leading edge facilities of GreenSource Fabrication, the fully automated A8a, 8-head, double-sided, high-speed, high-accuracy flying probe test system represents the latest addition to GreenSource Fabrication’s test department. According to VP Alex Stepinski, “This latest atg acquisition enables GreenSource Fabrication to test the latest ultra-fine HDI designs while helping to reach our industry-leading automation goals."
atg’s A8a is able to test pad sizes down to 35 microns and is capable of testing HDI products for smartphones or tablet and PC motherboards up to a test area of 18.9” x 12.2”. The A8a eliminates limitations due to test point density or fine-pitch contacts and also features embedded component test, 4-wire Kelvin measurement capability with an accuracy of +/- 0,025 mΩ, and latent testing. In combination with the fast test speed of up to 140 measurements/second, the A8a provides a “lights-out” automated handling solution for batches up to 5000 boards. To achieve high throughput the key feature of the A8a is a new dual shuttle system, which reduces the product exchange time to zero seconds in automation mode.
