Seiken Manual Press Machine
Reliable, High-Precision Manual Test Fixture for Semiconductor and Electronic Component Testing
When precision and reliability matter, Seiken’s Manual Press Machine delivers consistent electrical contact performance for IC socket testing, PCB inspection, and high-current device evaluation—all in a compact, user-friendly tabletop system.
Designed for low-volume production, R&D environments, and prototype testing, this lever-operated manual press provides stable, repeatable contact without the complexity or cost of automated handlers. With just a single downward motion, users can achieve precise probe engagement and accurate measurements—ideal for laboratories, small production lines, and testing environments where space and flexibility are key.
Engineered for Precision, Built for Flexibility
Seiken’s manual press system combines fine mechanical control with customizable probe configurations, supporting a wide range of semiconductor devices, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and flexible substrates. Each unit can be tailored to your specific device geometry, ensuring optimal contact accuracy and measurement stability even for uneven or complex surfaces.
Core Structure:
•Press Frame: Applies consistent, controlled downward force through a smooth lever-driven mechanism.
•Pin Board: Holds Seiken’s precision contact probes and ensures perfect alignment with the test target.
•Stage: Firmly secures the device under test, maintaining position and stability during contact.
Optional integrations include signal connectors, vacuum holding systems, and XYθ adjustments, allowing for higher precision and ease of operation in demanding test conditions.
