Description

Flying Probe Tester Overview

This Flying Probe Tester provides quick, accurate board testing with minimal setup. Probes move swiftly across PCBs using CNC-level control, and soft-landing technology prevents board damage. Its wide size tolerance—from 35 mm to 610 × 480 mm—and support for ultra-small components like 0201 (and optional 01005) make it versatile for many board types. The software is easy to program, using CAD imports to generate test scripts automatically, and supports integration with MES or APIs for streamlined data management. With options for power-on testing and backside probing, this system addresses a range of needs—from prototype validation to complex assembly checks—with efficiency and precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can it test a PCBs?

A Flying Probe Tester can typically complete PCB testing within a few minutes per board, depending on circuit complexity, test points, and program configuration. With probe movement speeds reaching up to 1000 mm/s and no need for custom fixtures, the system significantly reduces setup time compared to traditional in-circuit testing. This makes it ideal for prototype verification, low-volume production, and high-mix SMT environments. For best performance, engineers should optimize test programs and fixtureless layouts to balance speed and measurement accuracy during PCB electrical testing.
Does it handle both top and bottom testing?

Yes, a Flying Probe Tester can support both top-side and bottom-side PCB testing, with customizable backside probing options depending on system configuration. This flexibility allows manufacturers to test complex multilayer boards, double-sided assemblies, and densely populated PCBs commonly used in consumer electronics, automotive systems, and industrial control products. Proper program setup ensures accurate probe access and stable contact on both sides. Engineers should define test sequences carefully to avoid mechanical interference and ensure reliable electrical measurement results across all board layers.
Is a special fixture needed?

No, a Flying Probe Tester does not require special fixtures because it uses movable probes to contact test points directly on the PCB. This fixtureless testing method reduces tooling costs, shortens setup time, and increases flexibility for different product types. It is especially useful in prototype development, small-batch production, and frequent product changeover environments. Manufacturers should still ensure proper PCB fixture alignment within the software environment to maintain accuracy. Eliminating fixtures helps improve testing efficiency while supporting fast and flexible SMT production workflows.
Can it test fine components like 01005?

Yes, a Flying Probe Tester can accurately test very small components, including 0201 imperial and optional 01005 ultra-miniature components, depending on system resolution and probe configuration. High-precision probe positioning allows reliable contact with dense PCB layouts commonly found in modern smartphones, wearables, and compact IoT devices. For optimal results, engineers should calibrate probe spacing and test parameters according to component density and board design. This ensures accurate electrical testing even in high-density SMT assemblies with extremely fine-pitch components.
How is test data managed?

A Flying Probe Tester manages test data through integrated software that records results, logs defects, and supports real-time analysis. The system can handle big data storage and export test reports for quality traceability and process optimization. Many models also support MES and API integration, allowing seamless connection with factory smart manufacturing systems. This enables centralized data management across SMT production lines. Engineers should configure data formats and network settings properly to ensure smooth communication and accurate reporting for quality control and production monitoring.
