Santa Clara, California, USA – TAKAYA announces the sale of an APT-1600FD-A Advanced Flying Probe test system for assembled PCBAs to ACTIA Electronics Inc. for their new high-mix production facility in Romulus , Michigan.

ACTIA specializes in the design, development and manufacturing of electronics for the automotive, aeronautics, rail, telecommunications, and energy industries.

The APT-1600FD-A provides average head-speed increases of up to 50% with throughput improvements of 30-50% over existing models, making it the industry’s fastest flying-probe test system. The APT-1600FD incorporates a new 10-flying-Z-axis design, including 4 vertical flying probes that provide unequaled access to test points where conventional angled probes fail to contact. Its 6 top side and 4 bottom side flying probes deliver unprecedented speed and performance. TAKAYA is the inventor and industry leader in flying-probe test technology for more than 25 years.

“ACTIA continues to grow its global footprint as a full-service design, development and manufacturing partner to its customers,” stated Adam Ramouni, Chief Executive Officer for ACTIA. “We continue to invest in leading technologies like TAKAYA as we grow and add capability. Our new manufacturing facility, focused on the automotive industry, will feature state-of-the-art production equipment,” he added. For more information about The ACTIA Group, visit www.actia.com.
