Fred-
Though I've never purchased or used a flying probe tester, I did
recently research them, in order to understand how a high density PWB
might be tested.
One recent piece of literature on my desk describes a "Teradyne Flying
Probe Tester". I'll fax the 4 page brochure, though it won't do the
color photos any justice.
Teradyne is at
http://www.teradyne.com
510-932-6900 in Walnut Creek, CA
Also, check out manufacturer Probot, which calls them MPTs (moving probe
testers)

Good luck.

Subject: Flying Probe Bare Board Testers
We are considering the purchase of a low-end Flying Probe Bare Board
Tester. Can anyone
provide the names of the companies that manufacture them as well as the
model
name/numbers.
Are any of you willing to share your experiences with the models you
have? We are leaning
toward a model from Mania called the "Speedy."
I know there are machines from Probot, Lavenir, BSL (Everett Charles),
and Mania. Are there
others I should consider? Why? Why do you favor, or not favor, the one
you have.
Thanks, in advance, for any response.

Manufacturing Division.
