Cost-Effective Testing with the Huntron Access DH2 Prober

The Huntron Access DH2 Prober is an advanced, dual-head robotic flying probe test system designed for low-volume PCA (Printed Circuit Assembly) testing. It is ideal for applications requiring precise interfacing between test points.

Open Architecture and Versatility

The Access DH2 features an open architecture design. Therefore, making it versatile for various test methods that need automated probing of PCAs. This flexibility allows it to integrate flying probe test equipment technology seamlessly into different testing scenarios, including:

  • Automated Probing: Essential for reducing manual intervention and increasing testing efficiency of test points.
  • Compatibility with Conventional Instruments: It’s a test system that works with traditional Huntron Tracker products and other test instruments like oscilloscopes and spectrum analysers.
  • Specialised Test Cards: Supports boundary scan and other specialised testing methods.

Enhanced Design and Usability

The Access DH2 is an updated version of the original Huntron dual-head Access DH prober. Key improvements based on customer feedback include:

  • Compact Size: Redesigned to fit through a standard 91.4cm door while maintaining the same probing area. The new design is wider and less deep, enhancing the probing capabilities.
  • Improved Instrument Racks: Features two side-by-side 48.3cm instrument racks for easier system integration.

Advanced Measurement Capabilities

Using the Access DH2 for measurements on powered circuit boards is highly efficient:

  • High-Frequency Measurements: The RG316 coax cable connected to the test probes enables high-frequency measurements using oscilloscopes and spectrum analysers.
  • Enhanced Vision System: Upgraded with high-resolution, auto-focus cameras, and software-controlled ring lights for precise and accurate probing.

Highlights of the Access DH2 Prober

  • Dual-Head Flying Probe: Allows true point-to-point testing for precise measurements.
  • Versatile Testing: Suitable for small to large PCAs with exceptional accuracy.
  • Integrated Tracker and Computer: Comes with an internal Huntron Tracker and a rack-mounted computer.
  • Durable Design: Standalone cabinet built for long-term use.
  • Space for Test Instruments: Side-by-side racks provide ample space for integrated test instrumentation.
  • Automated Testing: Optional SDK packages available for automating tests with other mainline test instruments.

About Huntron

Founded in 1976, Huntron is a Flying Probe Tester Manufacturer. They specialise in tools for engineers and technicians involved in testing, diagnosing, and troubleshooting printed circuit boards. The company pioneered the use of power-off signature analysis with the Huntron Tracker, which helps identify component failures without powering up the board. Over time, Huntron has incorporated robotic automation like its flying probe testers to handle increasingly complex boards and significantly reduce test times.
