Testbox

To ensure the fastest possible introduction of FORMULA® Test Systems and an immediate return on investment, FORM offers customers TestBox® Test Solutions for measuring specific types of electronic component.

Custom and standard types of TestBox® Test Solutions

Each TestBox® is a fully packaged product that transforms the FORMULA® Test System into a ready workstation for measurement of electronic components:

  • in housing and on wafers
  • in multisite group test mode
  • using automatic loaders and automatic probes
  • under normal conditions and under extreme temperatures (Termostream, flow chamber, hot-cold chamber)
  • in test mode under the impact of other external factors
The quality of TestBox® Test Solutions is determined by their compliance with standards on electronic components and products, technical requirements and client specifications.
TestBox® Test Solutions are delivered both as part of the Test System delivery, and separately, at any time over the equipment life cycle.

Each TestBox® Test Solution is fully ready for use and includes:

  • a specialized fixture for connecting a specific type of electronic component
  • a disk containing test and measurement software
  • a data sheet and operating manual
  • manufacturer’s warranty
  • manufacturer’s tech support

TestBox® Library

Over many years of operation, we have created an entire library of ready Test Solutions for a wide range of electronic components, including hundreds of types of TestBox®.

The Library is constantly being updated. The Test Solutions designs and software are developed by a group of experienced engineers at our accredited testing laboratory. FORM manufactures, supplies and provides tech support for TestBox® in operation.

Today, more than 550 types of Test Solutions developed by us are employed by users of FORMULA® Test Systems, providing metrological uniformity in the quality control of electronic components.

When purchasing a Test System with TestBox® Test Solutions, the customer can immediately begin measuring microcircuits, significantly reducing the time required to release their products and reducing the risks of undetected quality deviations.

Creating custom TestBox® Test Solutions

In addition to supplying ready Test Solutions from the TestBox® Library, we develop and produce custom Test Solutions according to customer specifications.

The custom TestBox® Test Solution development and delivery cycle includes:

  • Evaluation of requirements for parameters to be tested and measurement/testing modes
  • Coordination with vendors of additional equipment(automatic probes, automatic loaders, flow chambers, etc.) and evaluation and agreement of requirements for integration
  • Development of a Technical Assignment for the Test Solutions and agreement with the customer
  • Development of the Test Solution, including release of design and operating documentation
  • Technical maintenance and support
  • Production, debugging and verification of the Test Solution
  • Validation of the Test Solution on a test lot (provided by the customer), including issue of measurement records from the accredited FORM testing laboratory and a data sheet for the Test Solution
  • Delivery of the Test Solution to the customer for an agreed program of acceptance tests
  • Storage of a duplicate of the Test Solution, design documentation and a test model of the electronic component

Delivery time and price

The timeframe for manufacture and delivery of ready TestBox® Test Solutions ranges from five to 30 business days, and the time required for custom Test Solutions is from 20 to 60 business days.
