Tooling & Fixturing
For all types of applications
Integration of Different Technologies
ISP (In-System Programming)
The programming of In-Circuit or In-System (ISP) devices eliminates limitations associated with traditional programming devices (on-socket or pre-programmed). ISP delivers benefits to in-board and system level design, manufacturing and programming processes.
LED Testing
An ICT system has the capacity of executing electrical tests (diode) – LED, but often optical analysis is required, which is out of the scope of ICT systems. To overcome this, EIIT became an official partner of FEASA (www.feasa.com) and uses FEASA equipment to perform LED and displays analysis, fully integrated in ICT systems.
Programming of flash memories integrated in ICT Test, Functional Test or Boundary Scan.
Dedicated Flash Stations
- Inline or offline
- Gang programming
Dedicated Programmers vs. Universal Programmers:
EIIT is an official partner of SMH – FlashRunner (www.smh-tech.com) integrating its universal programmers in numerous projects.
Examples of Customized Project Adaptations
- Lateral actuation with pneumatic cylinders or stepper motors.
- Detection of mechanical interlocking.
- Connector pin contacting (different levels of probe actuation).
- Testjet/Opencheck/FrameScan sensors or other “made on demand”.
- Design of customized parts to connect to specific product/customers’ components.
- Signal conditioning with instrumentation amplifiers, frequency dividers, etc.
- Generation of stimuli and noise filtering.
- Development of specific PCBs for watchdog, interfacing, switching, etc.
- Discharge and protection circuits.
- Specific loads.

Overview
Controlar and EIIT – A Controlar company have over 25 years of experience in developing and supplying tooling and test fixtures for a vast application field: ICT (In-Circuit Tests), Functional tests, Flash Programming, EoL (End-of-Line) tests, etc.
Inline or offline, mechanical, pneumatic or vacuum operation – fixtures for all currently used handling systems in the market.
From simple mechanical fixtures, with a few hundred probes and low production volumes, up to highly complex fixtures with thousands of probes, double side probing, double actuation, etc.
Unique Products, Unique Testing Solutions
A bed of nails is a fixture that always requires customization as it is designed specifically to test unique products. With our experience we have been able to standardize the process of customization, development and manufacturing, making it possible to decrease the lead times of simple and complex fixtures while maintaining high levels of quality.
Our fixture specialists are always ready to discuss specific customer requirements, trying to find the best solution aligned with our vast experience and proven methodologies to cover customers’ needs.
Turn-key Projects
Whether you require fixtures or the complete turn-key project (fixture + application), Controlar and EIIT have the capability to:
- Develop ICT applications in several platforms, including MDA, Testjet, Digital/Hybrid tests;
- Perform Boundary Scan, Functional tests, LED tests;
- Integrate customized circuits for signal conditioning, noise filtering, discharge, watchdog, loads, etc.;
- Integrate additional test equipment such as LED analyzers, Flash programmers, communication devices, etc.;
- Tune and support production start and ramp up at customer’s facilities.
With the integration of different ICT technologies:
- Checksum
- Teradyne
Fixture Validation – Probe Impact Analysis
As standard in our fixture production validations, Controlar uses microscopes to execute Probe Impact Analysis on the PCB. After the fixture assembly but before wiring is initiated, a preliminar study is conducted to validate probe plate drilling.
When the fixture is completely ready, a new verification is performed. The results are recorded and included in the fixture documentation.
