Test jigs and fixtures · Product engineering
We design and build the complete tool: mechanical structure, board contact, electronics, firmware and test software. The operator places the board, closes the press and gets the result, with everything logged.
We also support product development: R&D, hardware, firmware, prototypes, certification and production. See other services
The problem
Probes, multimeters and paper log sheets tie up skilled technicians on every board tested.
Results depend on who runs the test. Defects slip through and only show up later, in assembly or at the customer.
Without records per serial number, it is hard to investigate a failure or prove the quality of a batch.
A dedicated test tool: place the board, close the press and get pass/fail in seconds, with the result saved.
Test jigs
For companies that develop or manufacture electronics and want better testing, without pulling their own team away to build tools.
Flash firmware, calibrate and write serial numbers quickly and repeatably, over SWD, JTAG or UART.
Bed-of-nails fixtures that check power rails, current draw, inputs, outputs and communications.
Setups for engineering tests, burn-in and long-duration testing during development.
Assembly, inspection and positioning fixtures, custom-made with 3D printing, laser cutting or CNC.
Turnkey
No need to coordinate several suppliers. You get a ready-to-use tool, documented and validated with real boards.
Other services
Beyond test tools, we support the development of the product itself, with the same team and the same workshop.
Technical exploration of new ideas, to validate the approach before investing in product development.
Electronics and embedded firmware, from schematic to working board, designed from the start for manufacturing and certification.
Working prototypes that combine electronics and mechanics: boards, enclosures, structures and custom parts.
Preparing the product and its documentation before lab testing, to reduce surprises and repeat tests.
From prototype to production, with small-batch assembly and preparation for external manufacturing.
Process
Each phase has a fixed price and acceptance criteria agreed up front. We only move to the next one with your approval.
We define what needs to be tested, cycle times, volumes and the format of the results.
Mechanical design, interface schematic and software architecture, reviewed with you before we build.
Manufacturing, assembly and integration of the fixture, electronics, firmware and software.
Testing with real boards, documentation, operator training and start-up support.
Frequently asked questions
The board files (Gerbers, BOM and test point locations) and a description of what needs to be checked. If you do not have the files, a few physical boards are also a good starting point.
It depends on the number of test points, the measurements and the software required. After a first conversation, we send a proposal with a fixed price for each phase.
We design our tools with interchangeable nests and interfaces, so a new board revision does not mean starting from scratch.
Yes. We sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before receiving any technical information.
