In-circuit (ICT) test fixtures
Rematek's fixtures are made from the best quality hardware on the market and have unique design characteristics. Rematek's reputation of innovation and continuous improvement assure you of the most performant and efficient fixture on the market.
We make fixtures for all the major brand of testers (Agilent, Genrad, Teradyne, etc...).
Functional / mechanical fixtures
In addition to in-circuit testing, functional testing is widely used in the industry to verify electronic cards. This is why Rematek has always paid a special attention to the specific requirements of functional testing. Our dedicated engineering staff is prepared to handle all of your mechanical, electrical and software requirements.
Automated functional test stations
Rematek can proceed to the assembly and integration of automated functional test stations according to customer specifications. If needed, the Rematek engineering department can participate in the design process of the system.
Such projects often require the manufacturing of custom parts. Since Rematek owns a machining division offering all necessary services, it simplifies and centralizes your purchasing process.
Board stress analysis
Board stress has become a major concern for most PCB manufacturers, with the introduction of larger surface mount components, higher density PCBs, and more brittle solders. Board stress can be predicted by using sophisticated software tools and real strain measurements can be achieved by using strain gages. At Rematek, we have developed both techniques to better prevent PCB damages under test.
iTech vacuum box
A product that improves in-circuit fixture accuracy and test operator safety
Innovation and accuracy
The iTech vacuum box is an innovative product fully designed by Rematek Test Fixtures and that increases in-circuit fixture accuracy by using a guided floating pressure plate; which allows a better alignment between the pressure fingers/probes and the PCB to test. The automatic alignment of the floating pressure plate is made possible by two components: an alignment pin on the top plate and a bushing on the pressure plate. As the lid is closed, the alignment pin gets inside the bushing which forces the floating plate to move slightly in the "right" direction so that it get perfectly aligned with the top plate. Note that a "reverse" setup (bushing on the top plate and alignment pin on the floating pressure plate) is possible.
Alignment pin and bushing to get the floating plate perfectly aligned
The pressure plate is made of polycarbonate (Lexan) or glass epoxy laminate (G-10 grade), and the frame is made of metal. The frame has handles that allows the iTech vacuum box to be removed to get a clear access to the base for maintenance on the probes.
The iTech vacuum box offers two different gas spring configurations which allows the force exerted by the gas springs to be adjusted. This gives you the choice of a "push-to-open" or "push-to-close" movement for operating the lid.

Security
The iTech vacuum box is a very secure product to work with. When the lid is closed, there is no gap under which the operator can accidentally slip his or her fingers. This will eliminates the risk of someone getting his or her fingers crushed as the fixture is activated under vacuum. There is also a lid safety lock for when the fixture is not operated under vacuum. This lock should be used when the fixture need to be moved, maintained or stored.
