Circuit Engineering Inc. Chooses atg Flying Probe Technology for High-speed Electrical Test and Automation
March 1, 2024 | atg Luther & MaelzerEstimated reading time: 1 minute

atg Luther & Maelzer GmbH and IEC USA confirm the order for high-speed bare board testing technology.
The atg A7aPro, 8 head, double-sided, high speed, auto-load/unload system, for true “lights-out” operation has been ordered and installed at Circuit Engineering Inc. in Elk Grove Village, IL.
Circuit Engineering Inc. has been one of the leading manufacturers of printed circuit boards for the last 25 years with a state-of-the-art facility in Elk Grove Village, IL, USA. They are ISO 9001:2008 Certified, ITAR registered and UL approved.
Circuit Engineering COO Dennis McCarthy commented, “ This is one of the best investments in automation and technology for the test department. The ability to load up a job and focus on other tasks during the day has freed up valuable employees to focus on other complex tasks while this machine does the testing and sorting. The lights out testing solution has really paid dividends as well allowing us to load this machine, go home and return to tested and sorted parts ready to move to the next operation."
atg’s A7aPro (auto-load/unload) testers utilize 8 flying probe test heads, multiple optical recognition systems, and a wide variety of advanced, high-speed electrical test measurement techniques to electrically test all types of PCB’s for continuity and isolation. Board sizes of 24” x 21’ (or larger), with small pad/fine pitch technology can be tested quickly and easily. Special options, such as, 4-wire Kelvin tests, Hi-pot test, Latent defect test, and others can be provided.
