Astronics Corporation, a leading provider of advanced technologies for aerospace, defense, and other critical industries, has unveiled its ATS-AutoPoint Multi-Axis Robotic System (APMARS) and ATS-AutoPoint Desktop (APDT). These systems offer automated diagnostics for circuit board assembly and component malfunctions, enhancing speed and accuracy. The addition of flying probe technology enables Astronics’ PinPoint hardware and TestVue software to automate test and diagnostic capabilities. This integration addresses complex circuit card diagnostic and test requirements, tackles obsolescence issues, and addresses life cycle sustainment needs within a single, unified system.
Tim Webb, Senior Director of Sales at Astronics Test Systems said, “Maintenance and troubleshooting of critical electronics requires investigation at the component level, and our PinPoint solutions enable our customers to quickly analyze systems and identify issues to develop maintenance solutions well past defined support lives. Our next-generation ATS-APMARS provides complete automation of this process with dual flying probe robotics. This eliminates errors, reduces test time, and increases system availability, providing greater confidence in test outcomes and required maintenance and support actions.”
