Build Philosophy
Our fixture build philosophy is based on having the best software tools and build equipment available, used by engineers specifically trained to get the best results.
From the very latest 2D/3D CAD software, our designs and applications progress through Drill, Build and Verification stages, our degree of integration, accuracy and automation unrivalled.
| Automated Manufacture Without wishing to state the obvious, a fixture is only as good as the accuracy of the drilling. Most fixture vendors use modified pcb drilling equipment. Forwessun on the other hand invested in a fixture drill machine specifically designed for the task. The guaranteed XY drill accuracy is +/- 1/1000 inch. | |

| Probe tip integrity is as important a factor in overall fixture accuracy as the drilling. Forwessun's Receptacle and Probe insertion machine can handle .075 and .100 receptacles and probes, .075 and .100 Wireless receptacles and (HP3070) BRC Interface pins. One of only two systems of this capability in the world! | |

Full shorts and opens tests are performed on all signal, power supply, ground and vectorless test wiring to give total confidence. A top access probe check is also performed for additional peace of mind. Probe tip accuracy verification checks are then performed to guarantee that the true XY coordinates of the probe tip are to the tightest tolerances available from any fixture vendor in the world. |
