Automate PCB Testing Without the Cost of an Inline System 

Many PCB test lines can’t justify bulky inline systems. PreciseFlex robots give you the same consistency with more flexibility in the footprint of a human operator.

Manual PCB Test Loading is Holding You Back

Time wasted, cost and wasted throughput icon blue

The real cost isn’t seconds – it’s wasted throughput.

Every board an operator loads by hand adds hidden costs: idle testers, inconsistent results, and wasted labor. Skilled people stand around waiting while expensive test equipment sits underutilized.

Inline automation isn’t always the answer.

Bulky inline systems demand high capital, force layout changes, and lock you into rigid workflows that most mid-volume operations can’t justify.

And “cheap” robots?


They often fail in real test environments. Reliability issues, downtime, and poor support wipe out any savings fast.

Automation that fits your workflow - not the other way around.

PreciseFlex robots deliver inline-level precision without the cost, space or disruption of a full system redesign.

human scale automation green icon

Human-scale by design.

They fit where your operators already stand — same footprint, same workflow — so you can deploy automation without re-engineering your entire line.

Proven in real-world test environments.

With flexible, precise motion and an integrated controller, PreciseFlex robots handle delicate boards and tight test cells reliably, cycle after cycle.

Electronics Test & Handling Automation

Boost throughput. Reduce labor costs. Improve quality.

PCB Handling

Automate PCB handling without the risk of damage or space headaches.

Proven Across PCB Testing Methods

Whether you’re running quick ICT checks or hours-long burn-in cycles, PreciseFlex robots handle each board with the same repeatable precision. That’s why electronics manufacturers trust them across the full range of PCB test processes.

in-circuit testing (ICT)

In-Circuit Testing (ICT)

Consistent, gentle placement protects pins and connectors while ensuring perfect alignment with test fixtures.

functional testing FCT electronics

Functional Testing (FCT)

Accurate positioning guarantees full contact so test results are reliable, not rework.

Flying Probe Testing

Delicate boards? No problem. PreciseFlex handles fragile PCBs carefully, even in tight clearances and long test cycles.

Burn-In Testing

Repeatable handling into ovens and chambers reduces thermal stress and eliminates damage from rushed manual loading.

Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)

Stable, precise handoffs keep vision systems calibrated and inspection results consistent.

X-Ray Inspection

Smooth, low-inertia motion protects solder joints while feeding boards into enclosed or shielded equipment.

Robots Built for Real PCB Test Stations

Whether you’re automating a single ICT bench or running a multi-station test line, there’s a PreciseFlex model built to match your workflow.

Each delivers human-scale automation: compact design, precise motion, and easy integration into space-constrained electronics environments.

Results You Can Measure 

electronics tester loading

Keep testers busy — not idle.

Most ICT and functional testers sit idle between cycles. PreciseFlex robots keep them loaded, increasing uptime, throughput and eliminating hidden bottlenecks.

Free your people for higher-value work.

Stop paying skilled operators to stand in front of idle testers. With robots handling repetitive loading, your team can focus on quality checks, setup, and troubleshooting.

PreciseFlex for electronics testing

Do more with the space you have.

Inline systems eat square footage. PreciseFlex robots fit right where your operators work, so you get automation without redesigning your floor plan.
