ACD, a leading supplier to the electronics industry, will highlight its test capabilities at the upcoming SMTA Houston Expo and Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Thursday, February 9, 2012, from 10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. at the Stafford Centre, in Stafford, TX. As part of the company’s comprehensive service offering, ACD provides flying probe, boundary scan and functional test capabilities.
ACD’s functional testing verifies that each of the various product capabilities defined in the design specification or test specification meet their requirements. In addition to flying probe test, functional test is instrumental to providing ACD’s customers with quality, defect free assemblies. ACD works closely with its customers and the Functional Test Department to develop an accurate test for each assembly.
With single- and double-sided flying probe testers, ACD offers its customers confidence in receiving quality, defect free assemblies. The company uses Acculogic ScanNavigator™ software, a powerful suite of both hardware and software tools specially designed for testing of electronic devices, boards and systems using the IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1149.4 standards. Also, ACD’s test department offers JTAG consultation and test coverage for designs that employ boundary scan components as well as in-system programming of programmable logic devices such as FPGAs and flash memories.
With its new medium to high-volume Juki lines, ACD averages 1.5 turns per day. On the MYDATA lines, the company usually completes up to four turns per day because these lines perform prototypes or small batch runs. The Juki lines also have this capability, and this flexibility allows ACD to process complex builds back-to-back with very little down time.
