Design for Testability (DFT) in Low-Volume Production

Testability of printed circuit boards begins with the schematic. Here are some tips that will ease production testing.

Drilling Toolpath Optimisation

Enhancing our G-Code generation algorithm reduced our drilling time and helped us achieve same-day shipping on more orders.

Tooling Hole Best Practices for Reliable Fixture Alignment

Where PCB tooling holes are used for alignment on a test fixture, consider these points during board layout to improve testability.

How to Choose the Right Spring Probes

When designing PCB test fixtures, choosing the correct type of spring probe can significantly improve probing reliability.

Positioning a Board on a Fixture

Analysing data from custom drilling fixtures to see where folks are positioning their boards on the fixture, and how that corresponds to best practice.

Which Locating Probes?

Custom Fixture Statistics

Our drilling service has been used by customers to create customised test fixtures over five hundred times. In this post we share some statistics.

Pair a Merifix Fixture with the Production Line Tool

We have recently added a new rear insert with cutouts for connectors to suit Blue Clover Devices' Production Line Tool.

Customer Fixture with Many Probes

We sometimes receive photos from customers showing the test fixtures they have put together using Merifix kits. Here are a few photos of a customer fixture that has a large number of test points.
