Our Business

Acculogic designs, manufactures, and markets a broad range of systems and instruments for testing electronic devices, circuit boards and systems. We offer short turn-around time, high fault-coverage, and fast cycle-time solutions. Our services and products are used to validate designs, ensure integrity of prototypes, improve production processes and yields, and deliver defect-free final products. We are in the business of "Test Engineering" and we help our customers to reduce risks and increase profits.

Acculogic strives to provide innovative technologies that are required now and anticipated in the future. To ensure our customers maintain a competitive advantage in their marketplace, Acculogic continues to make significant investment in new product development and value-added services.

The purchase of intellectual and marketing rights for VICTORY software from Teradyne Inc. and the purchase of intellectual property rights for the Sprint 4510 Flying Probe from Shindenshi of Tokyo, Japan, in 2004 has created new engines for the growth of our company. Presently our products are enabling many of the most reputable OEM and contract electronic manufacturers in North America, Europe and Asia, to test their low-volume, high mix products without confronting the access problems faced in using more traditional test techniques such as ICT. In addition, our products allow our customers to develop test programs easily and quickly and they can also benefit fully from cost reductions offered by fixtureless test techniques and methods.

Products

Our products include boundary scan (JTAG) test and programming systems, flying probe testers, manufacturing process testers, VXI and PXI based functional test systems and a variety of instruments. Together with hardware, there is a set of software that maximize test quality and minimize development times.

Services

Demands of today's competitive business climate are many; rapid product introductions, condensed product life cycles, tighter cost control and shorter lead times. To succeed in this challenging environment, technology companies rely on partnership with our Automated Test Engineering Services (ATES) division to respond to these needs in an effective and timely manner.

Companies turn to Acculogic to benefit from its world-class engineering powerhouse, versatile resources, and fully equipped facilities. Before proposing solutions, we develop a deep understanding of our business partner's production strategies, capabilities, and requirements. After defining the test needs we help them devise cost-effective processes for existing or new products. It is no surprise to us that so many companies choose Acculogic as their partner of choice for Test Programming Services.
