09 December 2025 – B&K Precision’s new HMR Series System DC Power Supplies provide up to 18 kW of reliable power for ATE applications requiring a wide range of voltage and current. Unlike conventional fixed-range power supplies, the HMR Series features multi-range (autoranging) operation and can deliver maximum power at multiple voltage / current combinations. The HMR Series includes many system-ready features that allow for easy integration into any ATE system. All models feature a compact 3U design to save rack space, fast command response times and low noise characteristics. The wide AC input range (200 to 415 VAC) simplifies installation worldwide.
05 December 2025 - GÖPEL electronic offers integration packages for Takaya's APT-2600FD flying probe testers to seamlessly incorporate boundary scan into the test routines. This eliminates the need for manual contacting of the PCBA, saving time-consuming handling steps. Component testing, boundary scan, programming, and functional testing are thus performed on one and the same system. The Takaya APT-2600FD system with the multiprobe option allows users to flexibly contact their own pad geometries with a mini adapter.
01 December 2025 - Keysight Technologies introduces the next generation of Keysight i7090 Massively Parallel and Scalable Board Test System, redefining high-volume PCBA manufacturing by delivering fast, low-cost testing in a modular and scalable unified platform. Electronics manufacturers are under pressure to test increasingly complex PCBAs at higher volumes while keeping costs and factory footprints under control. The Keysight i7090 overcomes these challenges by unifying multiple test methodologies into a single compact platform and scaling throughput with parallel test capability. Unlike conventional solutions that require multiple test systems and setups, the i7090’s parallel architecture supports up to 20 simultaneous test cores, enabling manufacturers to dramatically increase throughput and efficiency.
28 November 2025 – Vector has introduced the new hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test system vCTS.performance. This powerful, scalable test system was developed in collaboration with EA Elektro-Automatik for testing the charging communication between electric vehicles (EV) and supply equipment (EVSE). It meets the demanding power requirements of the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), while also supporting all major charging standards. The system is now available.
