Test fixture maintenance guide offers best practice tips
Production environments can have a direct impact on the performance of test fixtures and test equipment. Test environment is a large contributor to probe contamination due to flux coated test points on the PCB, nearby wave soldering machines, or even shop floor dust and dirt. High volume production and extended life production runs expose the fixtures to increasing stress and wear, and have driven the need for appropriate fixture maintenance. A test fixture is a precision measuring device that needs to be maintained at optimum levels to gain the best test possible.
In order to maximize the life of ECT, Ostby Barton, and Pylon test probes, ECT offers the compendium of recommended guidelines and cleaning procedures.
ECT’s Test Fixture Maintenance Guide can be applied for all ECT ICT and FCT fixtures.
