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. Traditional workflows often rely on multiple standalone testers for in-circuit, functional, programming, and other requirements — slowing production, complicating line integration, and driving up the total cost of test.
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.
Key features and benefits of the i7090:
- Integrated Multi-Test Capability: Combines in-circuit test (ICT), functional test (FCT), flash programming, LED testing, and boundary scan into a single unified platform — eliminating the need for multiple stations and enabling streamlined production workflows.
- High-Volume Parallel Efficiency: Supports up to 20 parallel cores for simultaneous multi-board testing, significantly boosting throughput and efficiency in high-volume environments
- Compact, Modular, and Scalable Design: Fits within a 600 mm footprint and expands seamlessly with production needs, allowing manufacturers to scale test coverage without reconfiguring lines.
