Probe Stations, Manipulators and PCB Fixturing

DVT Solutions, LLC represents Probing Solutions, Inc. and other manufactures of high quality low cost probe manipulators and  probe stations and PCB fixtures to be used with the GigaProbes(tm), Pico Probes/Cascade probes or any active probe from Tektronix, Agilent or LeCroy. Probing and fixturing is necessary as it allows the user to probe while freeing up the Engineer to operate the TDR or VNA equipment and SI software.  A desk top fixture for vertical and horizontal probing is also available (see pictures below).

Slide down this page for a tour of the latest low cost probe manipulators, Probing Fixtures, FA and SI probe stations for a complete solution for Signal Integrity and Failure Analysis applications.


Bench Top Fixtures and Manipulators
 
Flex Positioner DVT-FP100
Quick, Steady and Accurate Hands-Free Probing

Flex Positioner is an innovative probe positioner for quick and stable hands-free probing. Its unique combination of an articulated arm and an independent precision XYZ stage allow a user to quickly and accurately place the probe on the test pads. Using the articulated arm first and then controlling the fine adjustments with the XYZ stage, one can make repeatable probe measurements.

Vertical probing of hard-to-reach areas Flex Positioner’s long, articulated arm and rugged structure make it perfect for vertical probing of boards and horizontal backplane in a chassis. The arm, comprising 4 links and 3 joints, can easily be locked down with a single thumbscrew.

TDR PROBE PROBE STATION
Complete Signal Integrity Test System
The 2020HV Signal Integrity probe station (show above) from Probing Solutions can be configured to probe Vertical and Horizontal printed circuit boards. The Vertical Fixture allow for probing fount and back side of backplanes to include probing daughter boards, providing the capability to TDR the backplane via, connector and daughter board interconnect path.  Active probes can be mounted on the PWAVE micropositioners to perform functional SI on complete systems.  Horizontal fixturing is also available.
