ICT (In-Circuit Test)

TAKAYA × LDE

Takaya Flying Probe ICT

Flying Probe

Takaya Flying Probe ICT

A fixtureless ICT system developed jointly by TAKAYA and LDE. Multi-axis probes contact PCB pads directly to measure component values and check for opens and shorts. No dedicated test fixture is required.

  • Measurement of R, L, C, diodes and other standard components
  • APT-1600FD simultaneous double-sided probing
  • Fixtureless setup for high-mix, low-volume production
