At Superb Automation, we don't treat quality control as a checkbox at the end of the production line. It is built into every stage — from the moment solder paste touches a bare board, to the final visual check before the finished assembly goes into i
Tour Superb Automation's QC laboratory — a 10-station inspection pipeline covering 3D AOI, X-ray CT, Flying Probe ICT, FCT, thermal stress, ionic contamination, and visual final inspection. Every board passes through this lab before shipment.
FCT simulates real operating conditions — power-up, signal input, load, and communication — to verify the assembled PCB performs its intended function. Every board shipped by Superb Automation passes custom-programmed FCT before final inspection.
The traditional electronics supply chain fragments production across three or more vendors — a PCB fabricator, a component distributor, and an assembly house — each with their own lead times, quality standards, and communication channels. A quality i
ICT (In-Circuit Test) measures individual component values through a bed-of-nails fixture — catching wrong resistors, reversed diodes, and solder shorts in seconds. FCT (Functional Test) powers up the board and validates it performs its intended func
PCB testing is not a luxury — it is the line between shipping confidence and shipping risk. This guide maps the full testing pyramid from incoming QC through SPI, AOI, ICT, FCT, and system-level validation, explaining what each stage catches and why
