Benchtop Test System
300 Series Benchtop ATE
The Circuit Check 300 Series benchtop ATE Test Platform with built-in professional fixturing solves the uncertainty of repeatable results that are common with bench testing. With the 300 Series Benchtop ATE, test procedures can become automatic, with test steps and go/ no-go limits easily programmable in common tabular form. Hand-probing is eliminated, replaced with accurate, repeatable tooling and reliable spring-loaded test probe fixturing.

Expanding In-Circuit Capabilities
Circuit Check supports reading linear bar codes and 2D symbols within each of its fixture product lines.When spring-loaded probes are not practical or access is limited, Circuit Check can help you with thru-connector tests to contact connectors on any surface or edge of a circuit board. These tests can be implemented spring probes, mating connectors, sacrificial SMT connectors, and stabber cards.

Rotary Table Handler
6000 Series Rotary Handler
Rotary table handlers are an excellent choice for PCBA or product – level test, programming, part marking, automatic part rejecting, and vision inspection in order to satisfy manufacturing applications that require high throughput. Rotary table based systems used in production can also help reduce the impact of load and unload times for the operator, because the device-under-test (DUT) automatically moves to the next cell within the station as each DUT is loaded. Circuit Check’s 6000 series handlers are modular, scalable and flexible, supporting high-mix and high-volume production needs. A common application example is to configure a 6000 series as a rotary station to perform simultaneous PCBA bar code scanning, testing, programming and marking, in a pipe-line process which improves throughput requirements. The 6000 series handlers leverage Circuit Check’s unique quick-change fixture drop-in technologies to allow for station modularity and scalability. Production line flexibility is achieved because the 6000 series handler is software and hardware agnostic, enabling adaptability to a variety of applications, and is limited only by the number of stations.

Test Fixture Adapters for In-Circuit Test Fixtures
Circuit Check test fixture adapters are utilized when the target ICT tester is not available or has been replaced with a newer technology tester. The tester adapter will often allow existing test fixtures from one test manufacturer to be utilized on another manufacturer test platform, eliminating the need for replacement fixtures. Contact Circuit Check to discuss your tester and fixture combinations for the best choice of a cost effective solution.

Actuation Methods for Functional Test Systems
Functional test typically applies full operational power to a final product or a loaded printed circuit board in order to determine if the Product/ PCB performs functions as designed. This type of test often involves custom built test equipment and custom test fixturing. Circuit Check supports all forms of functional test strategies within its Signature Series functional test fixtures.

Drop-In Functional Test Fixtures
Circuit Check’s drop-in base fixture and replaceable personalized plates are the ideal solution where production volumes are lower and the need to change from one fixture and test program to another occurs quickly. Interchangeable test fixture drop-ins enable the same test system to be quickly reconfigured with different tooling and probe patterns for different products. This maximizes equipment re-use, while minimizing the cost for each new test. With Circuit Check’s base fixture and drop-ins, the wiring and test electronics are not disturbed, thus ensuring configuration consistency each time the system is re-tooled.

FEA and Strain Gauge Testing
Circuit Check began Strain Gauge Testing in 1999 when BGA/SMT technology started replacing PTH components, reducing strain levels was a reactive post fixture fabrication process. We quickly recognized that the “reactionary” process was neither efficient nor were we capable on knowing the lowest achievable strain levels. Our engineering team came up with visual tools utilized during design to easily identify areas of excessive probe force, though still not enough data was generated to identify the lowest possible strain. Finite Element Analysis software models the PCBA and test fixture and applies the pressures from test probes and board supports and indicates the micro strain level applied to the PCBA. Using the FEA software during our design process allows our engineers to modify fixture designs to attain the lowest possible micro strain before fabrication begins.
