Seica, Inc. is pleased to announce its participation in the 2024 IPC APEX EXPO, taking place April 9-11, 2024 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. Visitors are invited to explore Seica’s latest innovations in booth 3514, where the company will exhibit its state-of-the-art test platforms and automation solutions.

With a commitment to accelerating innovation, Seica’s booth at the IPC APEX EXPO will feature an array of cutting-edge test solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of the electronics industry. Among the highlights will be the revolutionary PILOT VX NEXT> test platform, setting a new standard in flying probe speed and performance. Equipped with advanced measurement hardware and software tools, the PILOT VX boasts unparalleled test performance, reduced test times, and enhanced capabilities for prototype validation and production testing.  The Pilot VX has many automation configurations from inline integration to independent manufacturing workcell strategies. The Pilot VX is the best method to deploy for prototype runs to even high-volume production runs when the cost of fixtures and time-to-market are business concerns.

Visitors to Seica’s booth will also have the opportunity to explore the fully automated COMPACT SL NEXT>, a versatile test solution that maximizes configurability and customization while delivering exceptional throughput and reliability. With features such as onboard programming (OBP) and LED test capability, the COMPACT SL NEXT> offers a comprehensive solution for in-circuit and functional testing requirements.

Additionally, Seica will discuss its MINI Line, a cost-effective platform for developing customized test solutions tailored to specific manufacturing needs. With integrated instruments, switching matrices, and user power supplies, the MINI Line provides flexibility and scalability for various test applications, supported by Seica’s VIVA Integrated Platform (VIP™) for seamless integration and programming.

Innovative optical inspection solutions will also be on display, including the desktop version of the DRAGONFLY Next> series for THT component inspection and conformal coating inspection, and with unique features to measure conformal coat thickness and validate the presence of process application of conformal coat masking. These advanced systems redefine performance in terms of flexibility, throughput, reliability and process traceability, offering unmatched capabilities for manufacturing quality and efficiency.

The COMPACT LR Next> is Seica’s newest answer to legacy replacement systems, boasting a state-of-the-art-bed of nails in-circuit and functional test system with various receiver interfaces, allowing customers the ability to migrate old fixtures to a new Seica platform. This year the company will exhibit the Compact LR with its Teradyne interface. Seica has also deployed other LR options for both the GenRad and Aeroflex/Marconi systems.

The Firefly Next> is a technologically advanced automated selective soldering solution, with its perfect integration on a single axis of a high-efficiency LASER source, fully-programmable donut spot, vision system and temperature sensor. The Firefly redefines the levels of performance achievable in the selective soldering process in terms of flexibility, throughput, reliability, applicability and process traceability. Stop by our booth for a discussion with our team on how the Firefly can help in your selective soldering process.

All of Seica’s solutions showcased at IPC APEX EXPO will feature the company’s VIVA NEXT software platform, enabling intelligent integration with manufacturing processes, data collection, traceability, and interaction with MES systems. Additionally, Seica’s Next> series systems are equipped with Canavisia’s Industrial Monitoring solution for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, ensuring compatibility with Industry 4.0 standards.
