Production board test remains manufacturing's primary defect detection screening tool. Original Equipment and Contract Manufacturers depend on Teradyne systems to isolate and diagnose Printed Circuit Board (PCBA) defects in complex and high volume product assembly lines. Electronics value content in consumer and communications continues to grow strongly - and that means more testing problems and challenges to address.
Our 2014 board test engineering targets new technologies that further shrink the cost of test, delivering better system economics / capacity, attacking system running costs, and addressing continued loss of electrical access challenges for our customers.
Our focus is towards "faster, smaller and lower cost", as we introduce new solutions for high volume & high complexity PCBA testing, the two largest sources of revenue growth at our customers.
