Lambda

Worldwide electronic products are continuously being developed and changed. Electronic manufacturers develop products that provide greater functionality, consume less power and are becoming smaller with smaller PCB dimensions.

Due to this continuous development and new technologies there are  trends in printed circuit board production which raise new challenges for the manufacturing and testing of printed circuit boards.

In high volume products such as automotive or consumer applications, the transition from producing single boards to multiple panels is especially prevalent. The use of multiple panel designs on todays production machines reduces handling times and cycle times.

Digitaltest provides an intelligent test solution to increase the test throughput without affecting the test quality. With the Lambda test system multiple printed circuit boards can be tested simultaneously without adversely impacting on production throughput. The concept of simultaneous testing achieves the highest test depth and coverage with maximum utilization, least space requirement and minimum costs.

The Lambda test system enables users to perform all the tests that are required for guaranteeing product quality without increasing cycle times. The time needed for the programming of flash memory is not multiplied by the number of components under test because testing and programming of individual components is performed simultaneously.

The Lambda test system became a necessity for providing extensive testing without affecting production cycle times. It includes real parallel tests with small and cost-effective test heads, a flexible software environment and complete integration into an automated test cell. The combination of these elements shows that a multi-dimensional test strategy covers the growing requirements of the technology and methodology in a high volume electronic manufacturing environment and enables the delivery of top quality products to the market.
