If a product is improved or obsolete components have to be replaced, these changes will affect every process in electronics manufacturing. From solder paste printing to assembly, inspection, and testing, none of these steps will remain unchanged for long. In-circuit testing (ICT) is often a major challenge for redesigns. While the nail bed tester now delivers unbeatable cycle times, the fixture technology also makes it less flexible. The performance of a test system within a production line therefore depends not only on the cycle time, but also on the time it takes to setup design changes.
