In-circuit tester with highest parallelism


32-fold parallel test

The SPEA T300 board tester has a unique tester architecture with up to 32 parallel incircuit test cores and additional capacity of 256 cores for flashing and functional testing. The asynchronous parallel architecture of the SPEA T300 allows testing and parallel flashing of up to 32 PCBAs (Printed Circuit Board Assembly).

The SPEA T300 Needlebed Tester offers SPEA’s unique ICT-Plus technology, which finds electronic faults that are not detected by conventional ICT tests.

Test and flash a variety of assemblies in parallel

Many assemblies are manufactured in the panel, i.e. a few to a large number of assemblies are connected in the panel assembly to form a large printed circuit board. Each of these individual assemblies in turn contains a few to countless components and parts that must be tested and programmed.

SPEA’s new T300 board tester is specifically designed for user testing, or testing and programming many boards at once. It thus guarantees the highest throughput and the lowest testing and programming costs.

 

 

Programmable as single or dual test station

The SPEA T300 can be programmed as a single or dual test station.

In Single Test Site mode, a single board can be ICT and function tested and flashed.

Dual Test Side enables the simultaneous testing of two boards. This applies to ICT, flash programming and functional testing. To double the throughput, the tester can perform a split test. At Station 1, for example, an ICT is performed while at Station 2 either flashing or a functional test is performed simultaneously.

Operatorless testing

The SPEA T300 can be configured in several automated operating modes that operate unattended

  • Inline loading – Inline unloading
  • Loading from rack – inline unloading [1]
  • Inline loading – unloading in rack [1] [2].
  • Loading from rack – unloading into rack [1] [2].

[1] Option: Rack loading by robot
[2] Option: Pass – Fail – Sort

In-circuit tester – connected to the digital ecosystem

The SPEA T300 interacts with the Industrie 4.0 environment and digital ecosystem – in terms of information, notifications, programming commands and machine instructions.

The tester has sensors to detect and observe the environment, wear parts and moving parts, electrical and pneumatic power supplies, and internal and external power supplies. This enables him to:

  • Support for predictive maintenance
  • Error detection in advance, which would lead to malfunctions
  • Estimation of wear and remaining service life of machine parts

The SPEA T300 is designed for continuous and intensive use even in harsh manufacturing environments. Easy to maintain – maintenance can be performed easily and quickly.

ATOS Leonardo 4 ICT is the T300 version of the ATOS system software developed by SPEA for its testers.

ATOS contains all the operating and programming functions needed for the tester. This makes you independent of the Windows® version and the configuration and performance of the system PC.

The SPEA 3030 Inline is optimized for use in automated production environments. It can be easily integrated into SMEMA production lines or combined with standard automatic loading and unloading systems. The system has a modular design and can be configured according to customer requirements. In addition to the in-circuit test, the SPEA 3030 Inline also performs digital tests and tests power electronics assemblies.

Quad-core for parallel tests

The SPEA 3030 Inline can be configured as a multi-core system with up to 4 independent cores – each with independent CPU, local memory and instrumentation. This allows up to 4 assemblies to be tested simultaneously. The throughput of the SPEA 3030 Inline is thus up to 400% higher, which minimizes test costs.

Ultra-fast handling

The SPEA 3030 Inline is equipped with a redesigned handling module that halves the handling time compared to the previous model. 3 seconds are enough to handle a medium-sized assembly – including loading, pressing on and releasing the adapter and final unloading.

Adapter and test program are compatible with the manually operated variants of the system family

The SPEA 3030 Inline is fully compatible with systems that are operated manually. You can switch from an inline tester to a manual tester and vice versa. This means that debugging can be carried out on a manual system and the inline system can continue to be used in production.

Maximum throughput thanks to multi-stage

Using the multi-stage option, the SPEA 3030 Inline can perform various test procedures simultaneously (e.g.: in-circuit + function test, in-circuit + flashing, etc.). This optimizes the test time and reduces costs.

No operating personnel

The SPEA 3030 Inline does not require any operating personnel. The system works fully automatically in inline production or with loaders and unloaders. It is controlled via SMEMA or HERMES. This increases throughput and drastically reduces testing costs.

Highest test speed

Compared to conventional needle bed testers, the test speed of the SPEA 3030 is significantly higher. A dedicated CPU in each core guarantees delay-free communication between instruments and PC. High-performance relays ensure fast switching times. The system architecture minimizes the setup of the instruments. It is also possible to carry out different measurements simultaneously with a single core.

Controlled contacting with motorized receiver

The electromechanical contacting unit is integrated directly into the test system. This means that there are no interfering cables between the system modules and the adaptation, and signal integrity is guaranteed. The test system and adaptation were developed by SPEA as a reliable and cost-effective turnkey test solution. The contacting of the assembly is safe and precise. The contact pressure speed of the receiver can be set specifically for the test specimen. The lowering is always absolutely 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.

Parallel flashing of several components

The SPEA 3030 Inline 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.

Parametric ICT at maximum speed

The SPEA 3030 Inline 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.

Customizable & flexibly retrofittable

The uncompromising flexibility of our testers guarantees an individual configuration that optimally meets the respective test requirements. You can either configure your tester completely when you buy it or upgrade it gradually – anything is possible. Third-party measuring instruments can also be easily integrated.

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.

Testperformance

  • Boundary Scan
    Boundary Scan is used when physical access to individual circuit parts 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 Multimode enables broader fault coverage while simultaneously reducing adapter costs (virtual test points instead of real test needles).
  • Open pin detection
    Two different test techniques are available to clearly identify unsoldered pins (open pins) and other process faults: Electro Scan and Junction Scan.
  • Function test
    The SPEA 3030 Multimode not only offers functional tests at component level, but also at cluster and board level. 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Transfer of test programs and adapters to other testers
    The SPEA testers are based on a common system architecture. The hardware and software platform is designed so that test programs and adapters can be transferred from one system to another. For the test programs, this applies not only within the SPEA 3030 system family, but also between board and flying probe testers. This enables the greatest possible flexibility in production.
