PCB TEST FIXTURES · ATE · FIRMWARE CI

We build the testbench that proves your PCB works.

A bed-of-nails fixture, a custom testboard, and a web-based test platform — designed, built, deployed, and supported for your board. Production ATE, or a firmware continuous-integration bench.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

You designed the board. You need it tested in production.

Designing the PCB is your job. Building the bed-of-nails fixture, the testboard, the operator software and the traceability around it is a separate project — months of work that isn’t your product. We do that part, end to end, and hand it over running on your line.

The production testbench (ATE) →

You assemble boards, and your customer wants the testbench too.

Your customer expects a tested board and the means to keep testing it. We work as your subcontractor and deliver the whole bench — fixture, hardware, software, documentation — under your name, fitted to your production environment.

WHAT YOU GET

One deliverable, end to end — and you own it.

Everything in one place

The mechanical fixture, the custom testboard, the test software, the on-site install and the operator training — from us, not from five vendors you have to coordinate.

Our test platform, included

Every bench runs on our own web-based test software — the same platform across all of them — provided royalty-free with your project. No per-seat or per-bench licence.

You own what we build for you

Schematics, layouts, manufacturing files, test code, documentation: full IP transfer. The only thing we keep is the generic core of the test platform.

A record of every board

Serial number, operator, firmware version and checksum, every raw measurement, the Go / No-Go verdict — stored, searchable, exportable, and (if you want) pushed to your ERP. Traceable for your audits and your customers.

A fixed price, per step

You know the cost of each step before you commit it, and a support envelope is built in for the production ramp-up. No open-ended time-and-materials.

We’ve done this a lot

Production ATE and firmware CI for connected appliances, industrial motor controllers, mains-powered devices, IoT boards.

IN 30 SECONDS

What a testbench actually is.

  1. A mechanical fixture — a frame and clamps that hold the assembled board precisely in place.
  2. A custom testboard — a PCB underneath, with spring-loaded pogo pins that touch the board’s test points — no soldering. (That’s the “pogo” in Pogobench.)
  3. A standard computing module — it plugs into the testboard and does the work — runs the test software, and handles the real-time, low-level signal control.
  4. The test software — it programs the firmware, runs the electrical and functional checks, and gives the operator a clear Go / No-Go for each board — with every measurement kept.

Put a board in, clamp it, scan it, press start. Out comes a verdict — and a permanent record.

THE TEST PLATFORM

Every bench we deliver runs on our own software.

  • It runs in a browser — on a touchscreen at the bench, a PC on the line, or remotely over the internet; several screens stay in sync.
  • It has a library of instrument drivers — multimeters, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, programmable power supplies, label printers, QR scanners, the custom testboard — and new instruments slot in cleanly.
  • Reporting and traceability are built in, not bolted on — every board generates a complete, structured record.

HOW A PROJECT RUNS

Five steps. Fixed price. You own the result.

  1. Specify — We map the test points, define what gets checked and how, spec the testboard, and identify any firmware support we’ll need from you.
  2. Testboard — We design, build and verify the custom pogo-pin interface PCB.
  3. Fixture — We design and build the mechanical fixture and clamps that hold your board.
  4. Software — We implement the test suite on our platform — firmware programming, electrical and functional tests, reporting.
  5. Deploy — We install on site, calibrate, run the first articles, train your operators, and support the ramp-up.

Each step is a fixed price you approve before it starts. Everything bespoke is transferred to you. A maintenance-and-support envelope is included for the production ramp-up.

How we work →

Tell us about your board — we’ll tell you how we’d test it.

Send us the schematic and Gerbers (under NDA if you prefer). We’ll come back with an outline test strategy — what we’d cover, how, and roughly what it takes. No charge.
