RAPID LINE Test Platform for PCBs, Ceramics and Substrate Technologies

RAPID is SEICA’s line of Flying Probe testers for printed circuit boards with the highest performance available on the market. It meets the requirements of industry segments through models with horizontal or vertical architecture, VERSATILITY, ACCURACY AND INNOVATIVE FLEXIBLE ARCHITECTURES FOR DIFFERENT MARKETS A Flying Prober offers unparalleled versatility. There is no need to manufacture a dedicated fixture for every type of board, which considerably reduces the time and costs needed for test setup. The Flying Prober is perfectly suited for the requirements of the prototypes and...

4 or 8 independent flying probes and a complete range of measurement techniques. Through Seica architecture flexibility all unique market segments can be easily addressed due to the advanced hardware and software integration. COMMON VIP PLATFORM All the flying probe testers are based on the Seica VIP platform, which are high performing and simple to use. The optical fiber digital communication enables the signal communication to be exempt from interference, ensuring the highest accuracy and repeatability of measurements. The whole system is managed through the Seica VIVA software...

VERTICAL SYSTEMS The Rapid 270 combines the versatility and reduced footprint of a vertical system with the automation featuring the testers with horizontal architecture. Through the RAPID 270 vertical system, unique in the galaxy of Flying probers for PCBs, Seica answers the most demanding requirements in terms of versatility and ease of use, combined with high-performance standards. The system is provided with 8 completely independent measurement probes allowing high test speed. Four (4) probes on each side allow the most accurate measurements on both sides of the PCB. All types of...

HORIZONTAL SYSTEMS RAPID 280 The Rapid 280 system offers the highest performance in terms of throughput and electrical measurements. It is equipped with 8 completely independent measurement probes allowing speeds up to 9000 hits per minute. With 4 probes on each side, it can carry out accurate measurements on both sides of the PCB. This system allows the execution of every type of test, such as continuity, isolation, Kelvin test, resistive and capacitive measurements as well as active and passive embedded component tests. The high throughput of this innovative test system facilitates its...

AUTOMATIC LOADER The RAPID Line features the automation of both the horizontal and vertical testers, an absolute innovation for the market of mobile probers for PCBs. The horizontal system may be combined with Seica’s MTBH (MultiType Board Handler) capable of holding up to 150 boards at a time, even of different type and size. A simple menu is used to select the test sequence so that the system, upon loading the selected test program, automatically adjusts the clamping rails width. When completed, the board is downloaded and stored in the storage unit of the tested boards, on a different...

TEST TOOLS FOR SUBSTRATES HIGH ACCURACY TESTS The accuracy and independency of motion for the probes of a Seica Flying Prober allow the most sophisticated tests to check the features of the tracks. Trace Parameter Test: checks the continuity and isolation between the PCB tracks through a resistive test. Micro Short Identifier: checks the presence of a short circuit between tracks due to manufacturing equipments. 100GOhm isolation: isolation test up to 100GigaOhm with 500 Volt (1000 Volt optional). Trace Capacitance Test: autolearns and retests the capacitance between tracks and ground...

BOARD MARKER In the manufacturing environments there is an increasing request to “mark” the boards with a “pass” annotation after electric test. To meet this requirement, Seica has introduced in the horizontal prober architecture of our test systems, a module which automatically performs this operation. The marker will utilize either a seal or a motorized pin marker, which will make it possible to autolearn the point selected to mark the board through the VIVA software and a dedicated guided procedure.
