Takaya APT 8400
(Still supported, but no longer available)
| Of all the flying probe testers in the world, none are
as widely used as the APT-8400. Since introducing the APT-8400 in
1993, Takaya Corporation has dominated the fixtureless tester
market by providing a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use flying probe
tester. Here's a brief description of some of the features
that the Takaya APT-8400 has to offer.
- Four independantly moving topside probes
- Ability to add up to 2 guard points per step
- Test speeds of up to .04 seconds per step (standard
machine)

As with all of their products, Takaya uses only the most reliable ball
screw and slide rail mechanisms which have been designed for accuracy,
stability and durability. This attention to detail is a major factor
leading to the system's excellent positioning performance.
- Repeatability of +/- 50 microns
- Positioning resolution of 20 microns
- Minimum pitch of 0.20mm between probe pins
Now that you've chosen the best tester available, several options
can be added to your machine for an improvement in overall test
coverage.
- IC Opens sensor (IC lifted pin tester)
- Four adjustable bottomside probes
- Optical recognition system
- Vacuum unit (used with warped boards)
And more...
New for the year 2000, Takaya introduced the user friendly Windows
NT based software. This software was designed with the user in mind,
so that even a relatively inexperienced person can quickly learn how
to operate the tester.
- Sophisticated display and advanced edit and debug functions
- Review and adjust test steps quickly and easily
- Full networking capabilities
- Multi-level password protection
As an option, the APT-8400 can take advantage of Cognex image
processing technology. This optical recognition system provides test
coverage for components that cannot be measured in-circuit. The vision
system gives you the ability to detect:
- Backwards tantalum capacitors
- Mis-placed components
- Part numbers
