🚀 Exciting to see our collaboration with @Nominal_io in action!

They just published how FixturFab's bed-of-nails fixtures + Nominal Connect transform PCB testing from hours to minutes:
- 80% reduction in test development time
- 30-second test cycles vs. manual probing
- Consistent scaling from prototype to production
- Real-time data streaming to cloud analytics

"FixturFab brings velocity to PCB validation - in an industry where time-to-test is becoming the new time-to-market."

This perfectly demonstrates our vision of hardware testing at the speed of software 🔧⚡

[Nominal @Nominal_io]

Nominal's mission is to build the continuous, connected test stack – from the pogo pin on a PCB to our cloud database. That's why we can't build software in a vacuum. That's why we're working with hardware providers like @FixturFab.

Time-to-test defines time-to-market.
FixturFab and Nominal are building the tools to help engineers accelerate.

FixturFab: Hardware fixtures, turnkey systems, calibration & automation software
Nominal Connect: Custom test applications and GUIs for repeatable workflows.
The result: first power-on in hours, not weeks.

In Nominal's hardware lab, we built a custom test application to help FixturFab users accelerate.
First-class test software – already integrated with the hardware you use. That’s how you accelerate test.

🔄 6/6 The DEV260 Pro provides a sweet spot: bridging the gap between the budget-friendly DEV260 and premium Ingun fixture bases while delivering reliable linear closure.

[FixturFab @FixturFab]

🔧 1/6 Let's talk about fixture closing mechanisms in testing equipment. There are two main types: "sweep" and "linear" - each with advantages and use cases.

[FixturFab @FixturFab]

⚡️ 5/6 Similarly, Ingun Fixtures employs the linear close mechanism for production-ready testing.

FixturFab Studio saves design engineers time transferring knowledge to testers.

The first tool is our Design For Test Report, which quickly summarizes issues that will make mass-production testing expensive.

Probing pins and connectors from the side is possible, but typically requires manual work to prototype and adjust the design.

Once it works, it’s immensely satisfying. 🙌

Come say hello! We're located across the street from @fremontbrewing

[FixturFab @FixturFab]

Production fixtures are used to test high volumes in a factory environment. They also...

⚡ support features such as top/side probing, RF shielding, and safely handling high-voltages.

🎁 conveniently store all integrated automated test equipment inside a base. #manufacturing

[FixturFab @FixturFab]

Development fixtures were designed to quickly test low quantities of boards during prototyping and engineering/design validation testing.

They’re used for firmware development, flashing the microcontroller unit, and initiating the development of a functional test plan. #testing

Lastly, Functional Testing (FCT).

FCT also uses a Bed-of-Nails fixture; however, it validates that the DUT operates as expected instead of testing the electrical connection between various nets. 🔌 #FunctionalTesting
