    Parallel Test Changes More Than the Test Cell

    CheckSum Helps Electronics Manufacturers Improve PCB Test Throughput with Parallel Test Systems For In-Circuit Test, In-System Programming, and Functional Test.

    When Test Cannot Keep Pace With SMT, the Impact Goes Beyond the Test Cell.  Slower Feedback Can Increase Rework, Scrap, Rescheduling, Lost Capacity, and Overall Factory Cost.  CheckSum’s Parallel Test Solutions Help Manufacturers Keep Pace With the SMT Process, Reducing the Broader Cost and Risk of Delayed Fault Detection.

    Keeping Pace With the Line Gives Manufacturers Faster Process Feedback and a More Efficient Test Strategy. The Result is Better Quality, Lower Overall Test Cost, and Less Floor Space Required to Support Production.

     

     

    CheckSum parallel test systems for PCB manufacturing
    ICT Icon B

     

    • Multi-Core: 1 / 2 / 4 boards in parallel per cycle.
    • High-speed: solid-state relays for fastest execution.
    • Full coverage: analog + digital + powered-on (advanced tests).

    Faster test drives more value, enabling ISP + PFT in one test cell.

    MultiWriter Icon

     

    • High-speed ISP: programs at the speed of the device.
    • Easy-to-use software: job integrity, process control, and reporting.
    • Security: encryption + serialization for advanced cybersecurity.
    Turnkey and production-ready--engineered to integrate seamlessly with ICT + PFT in one test cell.

     

    PFT Icon

     

    • Parallel panel-level FT: test the entire panel in parallel — 5–10× faster.
    • Project-by-project: designed to your unique application and test spec.
    • Scalable + modular: seamless integration with CheckSum’s test software.

    High-speed panel-level functional testing enables more coverage early, reducing EOL load and scrap risk.

    Test Systems Icon ILS-X2

     

    • Dual-panel automation: high-speed, fully automated test handling with two stop positions.
    • Dual-panel flexibility: run single, dual-panel parallel, or dual-panel sequential test flows.
    • One platform for Parallel Test: supports CheckSum’s ICT + MultiWriter + PFT.

    Unique dual-panel handling doubles throughput, dramatically reducing total cost of test while enabling enhanced test coverage earlier in the process.

    Automated Parallel Test That Keeps Pace with SMT

     

    The ILS-X2 Dual-Panel Automated Test System Keeps Test Synchronized with Modern SMT Output by Combining CheckSum’s Parallel ICT, Programming, and Functional Test Technologies in One High-Throughput Platform.

    • Test Two Panels at Once -- Dual-Panel Handling Doubles Throughput in a Single Fixture, Reducing Cycle Time and Increasing Test Capacity Without Adding Additional Test Cells.

    • Combine ICT, Programming, and Functional Test -- Run CheckSum’s Full Parallel Test Suite -- ICT, MultiWriter ISP, and PFT -- in One Station to Increase Coverage Earlier in the Process.

    • Flexible Test Flow Options -- Support Single-Panel, Dual-Panel Simultaneous, or Sequential Test Flows to Match the Takt Time and Coverage Requirements of Each Product.

    • Reduce Test Cell Footprint and Labor -- Higher Throughput and Combined Test Processes Reduce the Number of Test Systems, Fixtures, and Operators Required.
