Description
The Huntron Access 2 Prober is used to automate the testing of printed circuits assemblies (PCA) that would otherwise have to be tested by hand. Adding Flying Probe tester technology your test procedure will significantly decrease test times therefore increasing productivity.
The Access 2 Prober is designed to accurately access test points on medium to large sized PCAs. The exceptional accuracy achieved by micro-stepping and linear encoding ensures reliable probing of the smallest surface mounted components. By using either the standard built-in test probe or a custom test probe, the Huntron Access 2 Flying Prober Tester adds flying probe technology to your new or existing equipment. The high-resolution color camera ensures correct probe placement and provides a clear view of the PCA under test.
- Cost effective, desktop robotic platform
- Design, manufacturing and service depot applications
- Increase operator productivity
- 10:1 or better probing speed when compared to manual methods
- Save on labor costs
FAQ's
Q: Where are Huntron Robotic Flying Probe Systems used?
Answer: Huntron Robotic Flying Probe Systems, known as Huntron Access Probers, are used in any situation where you wish to automate a test function that is currently done by hand. Automation greatly reduces the time required to interface to test points on a printed circuit board or perform a function that was previously accomplished manually. Flying probe systems can also reduce errors caused by fatigue or placement accuracy that are possible when probing manually.
Q: What can I test with a Huntron Flying Prober?
Answer: Many flying probe systems including the Huntron Access Probers are used to test electronic printed circuit boards (PCB). They provide a reliable, fast and repeatable method to test PCBs that are either powered ON for functional type tests or powered OFF for static diagnostic testing such as Analog Signature Analysis (ASA). Because of their unique XY platform design, Huntron Access Probers have also been used for other applications such as custom pick and place and automated optical inspection (AOI).
Q: How are Huntron Prober systems different to other Flying Probers such as Takaya, SPEA, Acculogic and Seica systems?
Answer: Where many flying probe systems like those from Takaya, SPEA, Acculogic, Seica or Digitaltest (Condor) are high speed production test systems, Huntron Access Probers are intended for low volume, high precision test processes. These processes may include Analog Signature Analysis, automated digital multimeter (DMM) probe placement, inject and sense measurements, and precision, low volume pick and place functions. Huntron Access Probers provide a flexible robotic XY platform that can help automate functions where manual methods are not practical.
Q: What are the primary differences between the Access and the Access 2?
Answer: The main difference is size. The Access Prober is sized for small to medium dimension PCBs while the Access 2 Prober can handle larger PCBs. The Access 2 has additional vertical space to handle taller features on a PCB. See the Compare Prober Specifications chart for the actual dimensions.
Q: What types of test hardware can be connected to an Access 2 Prober?
Answer: The Huntron Workstation software supports Huntron Trackers ( Tracker Model 30 and Tracker 3200S ) and selected conventional test instruments (see the Workstation Software page for a list). Other test instrumentation can be connected to an Access Prober and controlled using Huntron Remote Control or custom applications developed using the Hardware SDK .
Q: How fast is the Access 2 Prober?
Answer: The probing speed depends on how the Prober is being used. If it is being used to take measurements, the speed in affected by how long it takes to capture the measurement. In general, you will be able to probe about two seconds per point.
Q: How accurate is the Access 2 Prober?
Answer: Huntron Access Probers are very accurate. The minimum step resolution is 10 microns with an accuracy of +/- 20 microns. This is more than accurate enough to probe very small lead spaced devices such as the 0.4mm surface mounted ICs.
Q: Can I use CAD data to develop a test routine?
Answer: Yes. Optional software is available to assist you in using your CAD data to create tests in Huntron Workstation. You can find more details by visiting the Workstation Software page .
Q: How does the Rotating PCA Support system work?
Answer: Included with the Access 2 Prober is a combination of slide bars, movable arms and pins that allow you to mount the PCB under test using the board’s mounting holes. We refer to these parts as the Huntron Board Holder Kit. Rather than trying to explain the details here, take a look at the Huntron Board Holder Kit instruction sheet
