Seica Publishes Video on New Pilot V8 Next > Series Flying Probe System
August 30, 2018 | SeicaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Seica's new line of educational videos, Pilot V8 Next > series, features the most complete flying probe test platform on the market. Providing up to 20 mobile resources for testing an electronic board, the Pilot V8 Next includes test probes that can each apply up to 2A current; high-resolution cameras for automatic optical inspection, barcode and data matrix reading; laser sensors; capacitive probes; pyrometers; optical fiber sensors for LEDs; minifixtures for boundary scan and On Board Programming; and high-frequency probes capable of measuring signals at frequencies over 1.5GHz.
Engineered for medium- and high-volume production, the Pilot V8 Next > series is available in a fully-automated version, capable of hosting from 1 to 12 racks of boards to be tested (even of different types) or for direct connection to board loading/unloading and tilt modules, compatible with any standard assembly line. The Pilot V8 Next > can be configured to satisfy the full range of different board test requirements. The HR version extends the performance to include probing of extremely miniaturized devices (down to 30 µm), while in the XL version expands the standard work area of 610 x 540 mm to 800 x 650 mm, able to accommodate and test "extra-large" boards.
In the line with Industry 4.0 Standards
All of the Next> series solutions have Seica's Industrial Monitoring Solution on board, with the potential for remote monitoring of current and voltage consumption, mains supply, temperature, light indicators and other parameters useful to indicate correct operation, to provide information enabling predictive maintenance and in general to render the systems compatible with today's Industry 4.0 standards.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
