It began with a clear challenge: to design a solution that would make PCBA testing and programming faster, more reliable, and ready for large-scale production. We took this challenge head-on and developed a fully custom ICT system built around a precision test fixture. Every detail, from initial sketches to final integration, was carefully crafted to meet the customer’s specific needs. As a result, we delivered a robust, scalable solution that ensures consistent product quality. This success once again proves that smart development is the foundation of manufacturing excellence.
From Concept to Completion: Custom ICT Development for Test Fixtures
Our solution combines an in-house developed ICT fixture with a specially built testing rack. Together, they form a fully integrated test station, tailored to our customer’s specific needs. The system allows for:
- Automated electrical testing of PCBAs (Printed Circuit Board Assemblies)
- Programming of onboard microcontrollers and other programmable components
- Detection of production faults, such as short circuits, missing components, or incorrect soldering
- Scalable, repeatable testing that ensures consistent product quality
The ICT fixture uses gold-coated spring-loaded pins to make contact with the test points on the device-under-test (DUT). A custom-designed signal processing board handles the data acquisition. Results are processed by a connected computer, which flags any anomalies and completes device programming where necessary.
Designed and Built In-House
Both the mechanical and electronic design, as well as the final assembly, were handled entirely by our team. Special thanks to our colleagues who brought this idea to life – from concept to final handover.
This solution, therefore, not only enhances quality assurance for our customer, but it also significantly reduces manual labor and minimizes the chance of human error in the testing process.
Furthermore, the testing rack has already been delivered and successfully integrated into the customer’s production line. As a result, it is now efficiently testing and programming thousands of devices with both precision and speed.
