Major Cost Drivers -- PCBA Flying Probe Validation

Flying probe Cycle Time is a sum of the board load time, flying probe time, and Board Unload time. Flying probe time is a function of the number of pins divided by the rate of the machine checking these pins.

Process Time =  Board Load Time + Flying Probe Time +
Board Unload Time

• Board Load Time =   (Machine variable)
  • Flying Probe Time = Qty of Pins / Flying Probe Rate
    • Flying Probe Rate =   (Machine variable)
  • Board Unload Time =   (Machine variable)
