Current IssueVoices 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.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

S & P Flex Circuits Ltd Opts for Kaima Universal Fixture Tester From Gardien
March 30, 2022 | Gardien GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Gardien Group is pleased to announce the installation of the Kaima bare circuit board fixture tester to S & P Flex in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.
Suresh Patel of S & P was quoted as saying, “The addition of the new tester enhances our capability for high volume order processing through Electrical Test. The new Fixture Tester allows S & P to maintain our tight turnaround deliverables to our customers. High volume orders are not optimum for Flying Probe applications and fixture test provides this link in the chain to maintain delivery even with high volume production. The large format allows us to test full production panels utilizing the machines double density grid configuration.”
Gardien's state-of-the-art KAIMA test system can easily be adapted to test multiple PCB configurations. Its standard double density grid (DD) can utilize standard 3.75” fixtures for high volume throughput for most densities of today’s manufacturing. The machine can be purchased with tighter densities such as Quad-Density or Octal-Density. These provide the ultimate solution to high-density, high-volume manufacturing. Adding the optional automated load/unload, pass/fail automation provides “Lights Out” solutions for around the clock operations.
