Express Manufacturing, Inc. (EMI), an electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider, has added the Acculogic Scorpion 980E Flying Probe Test System to its inspection and test operations, giving the company flexibility in how it validates and supports electronics.

The flying probe platform allows EMI to test printed circuit boards without the need for dedicated fixtures, making it suited for prototypes, design validation, and lower- to mid-volume production. Programs can be developed quickly, helping customers move from design to build with fewer delays and less upfront cost.

For EMI customers, the investment translates into faster turnaround times and more thorough test coverage across a product’s lifecycle. The system’s ability to access difficult test points—through programmable probe angles and multi-axis movement—means boards with dense layouts or taller components can be tested more reliably. Double-sided probing and a large test area also allow EMI to handle a range of board sizes and configurations, from early prototypes to full production builds.

The Scorpion 980E’s motion control and real-time path optimization help ensure probes reach the intended test points efficiently while minimizing the risk of damage. Features such as programmable “no-fly zones” and adjustable probe speed give EMI’s engineering team added control when working with sensitive or highly populated assemblies.

The system can operate as a standalone solution or be integrated into a production line with automated board handling, allowing EMI to scale as customer demand evolves.
