  5. Diverse test methods

Fully compatible with the SPEA 3030 Inline

The SPEA 3030 Compact extended is a cost-effective needle bed tester with manual handling that is compatible with the SPEA 3030 Inline. The adapter, pressure unit and test program can be quickly and easily ported from the SPEA 3030 CE to the inline tester – and vice versa. The tester has a modular design, can be configured to customer specifications and, thanks to the dual-core parallel tests, it enables twice the throughput. It offers a wide range of test procedures and test options as well as 100% fault coverage.

Parallel tests

The SPEA 3030 Compact extended can be equipped with up to 2 cores, each with independent CPU, local memory and instrumentation. This allows up to 2 assemblies to be tested in parallel.

Transfer of adapters and test programs to the SPEA 3030 Inline

The contacting and pressure unit and test program are fully compatible with the SPEA 3030 Inline. You can quickly and easily switch your production from a system with manual operation to a fully automatic system and vice versa, depending on your production requirements.

PC-independent architecture

With the PC-independent architecture of the SPEA 3030, the test program runs in the tester’s CPU and the test speed is determined by this. This also ensures that PC background programs do not affect the test speed. In addition, the PC can be updated or replaced at any time without having to debug test programs again.

Parallel flashing of several components

The SPEA 3030CE can be equipped with one or more flashing modules. This allows both identical and different components to be programmed in parallel. Flashing times and costs are significantly reduced.

Precise contacting with receivers from SPEA

The contacting units are integrated directly into the test system. This means that there are no interfering cables between the system modules and the adaptation. Signal integrity is guaranteed. The test system and adaptation are supplied by SPEA as a reliable and cost-effective turnkey test solution.
The assembly is contacted securely and precisely. With the SPEA electromechanical drawer receiver, the contact pressure speed can be adjusted to suit the specific test piece.
The lowering process is always completely planar. The contacting level is freely programmable in steps of 100 µm. This allows different contacting levels to be realized, for example for 2-stage contacting during the function test.

Parametric ICT at maximum speed

The parametric-dynamic high-speed ICT of the SPEA 3030 Inline checks the parameters of each individual component according to the data sheet. These tests are generated automatically with the help of component libraries. This means short program creation times, short test times and maximum error coverage rates.

Testperformance

  • True-Per-Pin Architecture
    SPEA’s direct pin electronics guarantee reliable testing of complex analog or digital assemblies. When not multiplexed, the pin electronics provide a completely independent stimulus and measurement channel on each channel (1:1). This offers several advantages: faster test generation, simple ECO management, full flexibility.
  • Open pin detection
    Two different test techniques are available to clearly identify unsoldered pins (open pins) and other process errors: Electro Scan and Junction Scan.
  • Function test
    The SPEA 3030CE offers function tests not only at the component level, but also at the cluster and board levels. Parameterization is carried out in the Leonardo system software or optionally using higher programming languages such as Microsoft C++, Visual Basic, Borland, Delphi, LabView, etc.
  • Customizable & flexibly retrofittable
    The uncompromising flexibility of our testers ensures individual configuration that optimally meets the respective test requirements. You can either configure your tester completely at the time of purchase or retrofit it gradually—anything is possible. Third-party measuring instruments can also be easily integrated. The wide range of adaptation options, such as drawer receivers and plug interfaces, are outstanding. Inline contacting unit, Pylon interface but also customer-specific interfaces or receivers from third-party suppliers (Genrad, Ingun, Zentel, etc.).
  • Boundary scan
    Boundary scan is used when physical access to individual circuit components is not possible. This means that highly complex assemblies, fine-pitch technology, multilayers and BGAs can be tested without direct contact with the test probes. The parallel use of boundary scan technology and the system modules of the SPEA 3030 Compact Extended enables broader fault coverage while simultaneously reducing adapter costs (virtual test points instead of real test needles).
