i3070 Series 5i Inline In-Circuit Test System

Introduction

The Keysight i3070 Series 5i Inline In-Circuit Test (ICT) system is designed to bring industry-leading ICT technologies into your fully automated manufacturing line. This flexible system caters to in-circuit testing for a wide range of board sizes. It can be scaled to match the number of nodes required and can be seamlessly integrated into a handler-tester design.

Three models are available to suit different manufacturing requirements:

• 2-module Standard
• 2-module Lean
• 4-module

The 2-module Standard features a staging zone for staging an incoming board to improve throughput.

The 2-module Lean is 33% smaller than the Standard system, it has a width of 80 mm or 31.5 inches, the smallest in the market today. The system can be equipped with a built-in bypass conveyor which can transport printed circuit assemblies to the adjacent ICT or other test station. This removes the need for an exterior link conveyor, saving more precise real estate.

Both the 2-module Standard and Lean have an ergonomically designed Drawer unit that enables fixtures to easily loaded onto or unloaded from the test system. This feature saves both time and effort, especially for lines running a high product mix.

The latest 4-module Inline ICT is built to test large (up to 28” x 24” or 711 mm x 609 mm) and heavy (up to 33 lb or 15 kg) boards, offering the largest test system available in the market today. The test fixture is re-usable from Inline an ICT system to an Offline ICT system.

The Series 5i Inline ICT systems share over 50% of common parts. This versatility offers the advantage of scalability and reduces the costs of parts inventory. The card cage is easily accessible for maintenance and all instruments are front-facing oriented for easy access.

Built to stringent specifications for SMEMA compatibility, this solution can be easily integrated into your existing SMT lines. The i3070 Series 5i Inline ICT comes with changeable conveyor flow directions, allowing it to be easily integrated into different SMT lines.

Keysight i3070 Series 5i Inline ICT

Full suite of award-winning Keysight ICT solutions.

Short-wire fixturing technology ensures transportability, repeatability and stability.

Innovative design ensures easy maintenance and fixture change.

Full automation capabilities reduce labor costs in today’s competitive labor market where retention of experienced line operators is becoming a challenge.

Single point of contact for your ICT solution, versus customized automation requiring liaison with different test and automation vendors.

Excellent ROIC protection, as the heart of your existing i3070 system, the module cards (e.g. pin-cards and ASRU N card) can be migrated into the inline system.

Reduced human contact to minimize contamination and ESD damages to the assemblies.

Award-winning ICT Solutions

At the core of the i3070 Series 5i is Keysight’s powerful new analog stimulus and response unit (ASRU N), which offers unsurpassed test throughput and coverage for today’s complex PCBAs.

The i3070 Series 5i comes with the latest software, which means you will benefit from the award-winning technologies within the same system:

Cover-Extend Technology – Enables tests for PCBAs which would otherwise be inaccessible using traditional ICT probing methods.

Throughput Multiplier – Boosts test throughput with Keysight’s patented Throughput Multiplier, which lets you test multiple boards simultaneously. This eliminates redundant test generation and debug, saving you time and money.

Autodebug – Slashes debug time from three days to four hours or less!

AutoOptimizer - Optimizes test times for repeated tests with a click of a button, reducing the test times by 10 to 50 percent per test.

Keysight Utility Card – Allows easy plug-in of third-party test modules for flash pro-gramming, boundary scan and LED tests, thus enhancing ROIC of your i3070 system!

Common Platform

The i3070 Series 5i is designed based on a unified platform that is shared across the Inline 2-module and 4-module systems with emphasis on long hours of operation and ease of maintenance.

The unique scissor-shaped Top Press is fast and programmable, it delivers a uniform press-down force, ensuring even contact between test pads and probes. Being dual- stage ready, this design eliminates expensive pneumatic press-down fixture, reducing fixture costs.

The card cage shares the same form factor across the entire i3070 platform, which allows for module cards to be reusable in different i3070 systems; optimizing cost efficiency in terms of investment and inventory management.

Besides enhancing ease of use and maintenance, the i3070 Series 5i retains the popular and proprietary Keysight short-wire fixturing technology used in our stalwart Keysight i3070 systems. Short-wire fixturing eliminates problems commonly found with long wire fixture, such as noise and deterioration of test stability.

This translates into transportable, repeatable and stable tests on your i3070 Series 5i, even if you need to deploy tests halfway across the globe, or at different manufacturing sites.

Furthermore, an array of tools like intelligent fixture identification, board orientation detection and test plan revision controls are available to help you develop best-in-class automation solutions.
