Flexible PCB Testing

Growing demand for light emitting diode (LED) products and increasing testing complexity continue to challenge electronic printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers.

The igentic® 621t is a flexible PCB tester that ensures quality while increasing production. The tester can handle multiple PCB products and test for light measurements, resistance and push button or post detection, as required.

The igentic® 621t Tests and Packages PCBs

  • Functional test requirements (resistance, current, voltage, relay) can be integrated based on customer specifications
  • Multiple test heads support multiple product families
  • Industry standard conveyor, with SMEMA interface and precision lift-and-locate station, for inline integration and rapid reconfiguration for a wide variety of products
  • Optional integrated marking systems for part identification
  • Separate reject conveyor isolates failed parts
  • Optimized gantry system places passed parts directly into packaging trays
  • Multi-language compatibility, remote monitoring and 24-7 support ensure global corporate requirements are met

The igentic® 621t Increases Quality and Throughput

  • Increases efficiency by combining testing and packaging in one system
  • Provides flexibility with multiple testing stations
  • Reduces operator intervention for part changeover
  • Decreases testing time while increasing testing capabilities
  • Separates passed and failed parts to ensure quality

This intelligent production line system can deliver the process controls needed to meet global quality standards.
