Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Gardien Launches G90 Series Flying Probe
September 2, 2019 | Gardien GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Gardien has announced the G90 series of flying probes, fully designed and assembled in Germany. These fixtureless testers were developed in response to a client requirement of testing large sized boards. The large machine thus developed utilized the modular design concept, which gave Gardien the opportunity to conceive an entire new series.
The G90 series has 4 variants – G90, G90L, G90XL and G90XXL – and between them, are capable of testing board sizes ranging from 812mm x 812mm (31.9” x 31.9”) up to 1600mm x 1200mm (63 x 39.4”). These flying probes offer high accuracy rates across the entire test area with the glass scale system. The motor driven movable, lower frame allows for easy loading of boards of big sizes, making if ergonomically comfortable for the user. The well thought out design still offers a standard working height for regular sized boards. Lowering the bottom frame creates space for big boards, without the need increase the dimensions of the machine drastically. It is still compact enough to fit through a standard sized doorframe. Precise measurements of low resistance can be achieved with an option to upgrade to 4-wire Kelvin testing.
Gardien Europe Managing Director, Holger Kern, who was personally involved in the development of these series, expressed a sense of fulfilment with his team’s efforts and added, “We are sure the G90 series, with its notable features, will be widely used by the industry. By rolling the G90 out to our own test facilities we gathering real production feedback from different user groups and incorporated much into the new design of the machine and the operating software ”
Talking about Gardien’s reputation, Roland Valentini, Group COO, said,” A reason for our clients’ dependability upon us is our commitment to continually add new products to our portfolio, expanding our offerings. Our industry knowledge, customer centric approach and unbiased methods drive the outcomes they want to achieve. ”
