Increase Inline Test Throughput

High-volume electronics manufacturing requires inline board testing that keeps pace with automated surface mount technology (SMT) production lines. The test system must support continuous board flow, automated handling, rapid fixture engagement, and comprehensive test coverage while minimizing cycle time to prevent production bottlenecks and maintain manufacturing throughput.

The testing process involves transferring each printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) into the test station, executing multiple test operations, and routing the board to the next manufacturing stage. Achieving higher throughput depends on minimizing handling, synchronizing test execution, reducing cycle time, and collecting production data for traceability and process optimization.

High-Throughput Board Test Solution

Increasing manufacturing throughput requires reducing test cycle time, minimizing board handling, and executing multiple test processes without interrupting production flow. The Keysight Expert parallel test system, the i7090, addresses these requirements by combining in-circuit test, boundary scan, flash programming, LED testing, and functional testing on a single automated platform. Its massively parallel architecture, supporting up to twenty independent test cores, enables multiple test operations to run simultaneously, reducing overall test time and eliminating the need for multiple standalone test stations. Integration with automated board handling systems and PathWave Manufacturing Analytics maintains continuous board flow while providing production traceability, yield visibility, and manufacturing insights for ongoing process optimization.
