Versatile Flying Probe Testing for Large & Complex Boards

The SPEA 4060 is a multi-mode, dual-side flying probe tester engineered for the widest possible range of board types and sizes. Its unique combination of four top-side and two bottom-side flying heads provides simultaneous dual-side probing — increasing throughput and test coverage without the need for fixtures.

Beyond flying probe test, the 4060's bottom moving platform can carry bed-of-nails fixtures, power supplies, digital I/O, and high-speed signal hardware — making it a true multi-mode test solution from a single machine.

As the sole UK & Ireland SPEA distributor since 2004, Flying Test Systems can advise on the right 4060 configuration for your production environment and board range.

Key Capabilities

The 4060 delivers multi-mode dual-side probing, large-board capacity, and highest measurement accuracy — all in a single flexible platform.

Multi-Mode Dual Side Probing

Four top + two bottom flying heads for simultaneous dual-side test. The bottom platform also supports bed-of-nails fixtures, power supplies, and digital I/O.

Large Board Testing

In-line test area up to 1000 × 610mm — accommodating backplanes, server boards, power electronics, and components up to 110mm tall.

Highest Measurement Accuracy

0.1pF measurement resolution with full signal integrity — no measurement degradation or interference, and immediate signal acquisition within microseconds.

Fast Micro-Pad Probing

Ultra-high-speed linear motion axes with Soft Touch technology for accurate, mark-free probing on the smallest micro-SMD pads and flexible circuits.

Full Accessibility & Parallel Test

Dual-Side Flying Probing — Multi-Mode in One Machine

Dual-Side Flying Probing: Four top-side and two bottom-side moving heads allow the 4060 to test both faces of a board simultaneously, increasing throughput and coverage compared to single-side systems.

Bottom Multi-Probe Flying Heads: In addition to electrical probes, the two bottom heads can carry high-speed power probes, support rods, hi-res cameras, multi-probes, laser & LED probes, and electro scan probes — covering the most comprehensive test needs.

Multi-Mode Probing: While the four top-side probes perform flying probe test, the bottom moving platform can simultaneously be configured for bed-of-nails fixtures, multiple high-current power supplies, digital I/O, or high-speed signal generation. Dynamic planarity supports ensure reliable test of large and thin boards without PCB vibration.

Industry-Leading Test Area

Test the Biggest Boards — Including Backplanes

Large Test Area: The 4060's in-line test area accommodates boards up to 1000 × 610mm (39.4 × 24''), making it one of the largest-capacity flying probe testers available. Manual loading supports boards up to 686 × 610mm.

Backplanes: The 4060 can test backplanes mounting any type of connector — including high-density and power connectors that many systems cannot access.

Tall Components: PCBs with transformers, heat sinks, connectors, front panels, polarised capacitors, and other tall components up to 110mm are tested without modification or compromise to probing accuracy.

Signal Integrity & Measurement Performance

Best-in-Class Measurement Accuracy at 0.1pF

The 4060 delivers the highest measurement performance of any flying probe system in its class — with a measurement resolution of 0.1pF for capacitance and full signal integrity across all test types.

Dedicated measuring and forcing instrumentation on each flying head ensures there is no measurement degradation or cross-probe interference — and immediate signal acquisition within hundreds of microseconds ensures high throughput is never traded against test quality.

Intelligent Test Software

Leonardo OS2 — Easy, Fast, Self-Programming

The 4060 runs on SPEA's Leonardo OS2 — a second-generation test operating system that dramatically reduces test program generation time and operator workload.

Leonardo OS2 generates test programs automatically in minutes — with or without a CAD file — and the latest System Control cuts program generation time by 50% compared to the previous generation. Automatic Debug & Tuning, board repair software, and Pick & Place X-Y file import are all built in, making the 4060 fast to commission and easy to run day-to-day.
