Universal-Motherboard Testfixture for
Probe-Card-Test-System  Precision Point VX2



The universal fixture consists of three components:

1)	A test-system related basic universal frame.

2)	A probe-card related motherboard.  

3)	A probe-card related  insert ring
Advantages:

1) Cost saving     For each new probe card  just a  set-up kit is needed.
                           A set-up kit  consists of  an insert ring and an insert motherboard.  

2) Time saving:   Quick changing  from one type of probe-card to another.


3) Universal use: The same set-up kits can be used with several test-systems having installed the
                           basic universal frame on the  top plate.

4) Space saving:  Reduced storage space for motherboard fixtures.

Handling:

After the installation of a basic frame on the top plate of the test-system, different  probe-card
set-up  kits can be changed easily in three steps.  

1)  The respective insert ring and motherboard will be inserted in the basic frame.   

2)  The probe-card will be inserted.
