Mycronic’s Global Technologies division has acquired RoBAT, a company headquartered in the United Kingdom, which has developed a technology for fast and reliable tests of signal quality on PCBs.
Global Technologies is already active in providing electrical test equipment for bare board PCBs through the PCB Test business line. RoBAT offers specialized test equipment for high frequency signal quality tests of bare board PCBs. The company was founded in 2001, with currently 27 employees, and offices in the United Kingdom, United States and China. Net sales in 2024 amounted to GBP 3 million
“Computational power and communication will continue to evolve rapidly. The resulting high-speed applications require PCBs with good high frequency signal quality”, says Magnus Marthinsson, Sr VP Global Technologies at Mycronic.
“RoBAT’s offering is very exciting and particularly relevant for AI server applications”, says Jochen Kleinertz, Head of the PCB Test business line at Mycronic.
RoBAT will form part of the PCB Test business line within the Global Technologies division.

Target Condition: From Dream House to Drill Files
06/05/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionIf you caught the movie “Barbie,” you may have laughed at its over-the-top utopia where every day begins with perfect weather, perfect smiles, and a perfectly pink commute. But beyond the plastic glam, the film subtly critiques the illusion of perfection—a message that feels surprisingly relevant to the world of PCB design and manufacturing.

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Defects in Circuit Board Production
06/04/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionWe all agree that in any manufacturing process, reducing defects in your product induced during manufacture (aka increasing yields) is a good thing. Doing so, however, can be a source of contention and frustration. I don’t pretend to be an expert in this field, because most of my work involves feasibility studies for new concepts or testing improvements made to existing equipment. High yields were usually not a factor; it’s simply about having enough data to prove or disprove a concept or seeing whether improvements to equipment design actually work. However, here are some observations I made visiting quality shops where high production at high yields was important.

It’s Only Common Sense: Trust Is All You Need
06/02/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseTrust is all you need, and the best way to build it is by showing that others have placed their faith in you. This is where social proof becomes a game-changer. Social proof is a psychological phenomenon that influences people to follow others’ actions, especially in uncertain situations. By leveraging social proof, businesses can attract customers and close deals more efficiently. Here’s how to incorporate social proof into your strategy and watch your closing rate soar.
