Calumet Electronics Chooses Fully Automated atg A9a Flying Probe for High-Speed Electrical Test
April 20, 2022 | atg Luther & Maelzer GmbHEstimated reading time: 1 minute
atg Luther & Maelzer GmbH confirms delivery of high-speed bare board testing technology to PCB fabricator, Calumet Electronics, in Calumet, MI.
Consistent with the on-going investment in leading edge technologies at Calumet Electronics, the fully automated A9a, 8 head, double-sided, high speed, high accuracy flying probe test system represents the latest addition to Calumet’s test department. The atg technology enables Calumet to test the latest ultra-fine designs while helping to reach industry leading automation goals.
atg’s A9a can test pad sizes down to 35 micron and is capable of testing products up to a size of 21” x 24”. The A9a eliminates limitations due to test point density or fine-pitch contacts and features embedded component test, 4-wire Kelvin measurement capability with an accuracy of +/- 0,025 m?, HPOT and latent testing. In combination with a test speed of up to 230 measurements/second, the A9a provides a “lights-out” automated handling solution for larger production runs. To achieve high throughput the key feature of the A9a is a dual shuttle system, which reduces the product exchange time to zero seconds in automation mode.
