EVAjig
The EVAjig is a bed-of-nails device to program, provision
and test freshly assembled PCBA's targeted at small series.
The cost of todays single-use, specialist testers cannot be
smeared out over enough products to be economical for small
series. Therefore the EVAjig combines a re-usable fixture
that provides many commonly-used functionalities with easily
exchangeable cassettes. The EVAjig fixture can be used by
many clients for many PCBAs, so the cost for common
functionality can be minimal. Cassettes are designed and
produced with high standardization, also to minimze cost and
lead time. Extension modules to the cassettes provide
specialized test functions. The software recognizes the
cassettes and reconfigures itself according to
specifications that are maintained in a portal. All test
results are immediately uploaded and available in the
portal.

Developer companies that target the EVAjig for PCBA
programming, provisioning and testing benefit from a single
fixture and a unified approach for all their PCBAs. A PCB
assembly company can economically test their designs, fully
automated and on a very high professinal standard. This
leaves the companies' developers time to concentrate on
development rather than production. Their products are fully
traceable because test results are immediately stored in a
database which can be viewed in a portal. Many functions can
be tested with the EVAjig common setup, so that there is
only a small lead time for a new cassette to be made. They
can rely on EVAbits to implement product specific functions
on an extension module that is integrated on the cassette.
The assembly of small series is often difficult to do
economically by itself, without the customer asking to test
the PCBAs on a make-shift test device. Even when these work
robustly, your production worker usually spends a lot of
time learning to operate the machine, gather the test
results and get them back to the client. The EVAjig provides
a stable, common fixture and user interface for all
products, with test results that immediately shared with the
client. The shared fixture and software means that
assemblers using the EVAjig are able to provide an
economical solution for clients wanting a professional test
system for small series. EVAbits provides cassettes at the
specification of the client.
