High-Production Flying Probe Testing
The SPEA 4080 is an 8-probe, multi-functional flying probe tester designed for testing electronic boards and devices at high volume. It sets a new benchmark in flying probe testing, delivering the highest probing and measurement accuracy and speed on both sides of a board simultaneously.
SPEA's Multi-Domain Test Technology ensures 100% net accessibility and zero-failure escape — covering electrical test, optical inspection, 3D dimensional test, thermal test, in-system flashing, and more in a single fixtureless platform.
As the sole UK & Ireland SPEA distributor since 2004, Flying Test Systems can advise on the right configuration for your production volume and application.
Key Capabilities
The 4080 combines speed, precision, and multi-domain testing in a single fixtureless platform.
High Productivity
Tests 800,000+ boards per year — the highest throughput of any flying probe system. Designed for demanding high-volume production environments.
Micro-Pad Probing
Probing of micro-pads down to 30µm and SMD components as small as 008004 and 01005 — at maximum speed without marking the pads.
Multi-Domain Test
Electrical, optical, 3D laser, thermal, in-system flashing, and more — all on one platform for complete test coverage.
High-Precision Measurement
Dedicated measuring and forcing instrumentation on each flying head ensures signal integrity and accurate results at every test point.
Ultra-Fast Probing
Double-Sided Testing at Maximum Speed
The 4080 features 8 flying heads — 4 top and 4 bottom — ensuring simultaneous, effective probing of both faces of the board.
Ultra-high-speed linear motors provide the highest probing speed available, superior mechanical stability, and no deformation during use. Constructive simplicity also means less periodic maintenance, reducing total cost of ownership.
Precision Positioning
Micro-Probing Accuracy for the Smallest Targets
Ultra-accurate positioning encoders on each XYZ axis ensure consistent probing of the smallest targets — including 30µm pads and 008004 SMD components.
The 4080 delivers the highest probing accuracy and repeatability of any flying probe system available, making it suitable for the most demanding high-density board designs.
SPEA Soft-Touch Technology
Safe Probing — Zero Marks on Delicate Surfaces
SPEA's unique Soft-Touch and Ultra-Soft Touch technologies use near-zero energy probing to ensure safe, mark-free contact on delicate surfaces and substrates.
Critical for wafers, flex circuits, and micro-SMT devices where conventional probing force would cause damage. Test pads and component joints remain fully intact after testing.
4080L Extended Model
Testing Large, Heavy, Complex Boards
The 4080L model features an extended test area for boards up to 1200 × 668mm, weighing up to 20kg, mounting components up to 150mm tall on both sides.
Suitable for backplanes, server boards, industrial power electronics, and other large-format assemblies — without any compromise to probing accuracy or speed.
