Why does the manufacturer use a flying probe tester when they already have an in-circuit tester?

Last week, I visit a PCBA manufacturer for our new project. They not only introduce in-circuit tester but also flying probe tester, which can both ensure the quality level. Zo, Why does the manufacturer use a flying probe tester when they already have an in-circuit tester?

In-circuit test fixtures are built specifically for a given PCB design (unless they have removable pogo-pin cassettes), which is a limitation. Echter, they generally only cost hundreds of dollars and they can simultaneously connect with all of the test points on one side of the PCB.

Flying probe test systems are more flexible because they can be reprogrammed for an ever-changing variety of PCBs. But the machines cost tens of thousands of dollars and they have a limited number of probes, which can make them unsuitable for loading firmware into the boards.

How can I handle missing solder mask opening on PCB footprint?

I have three through-hole PCBs that are missing front and back solder mask openings for two of the components. The solder mask (usually green) is covering the front and back solder pads. All other pads for all other parts are exposed. Is there a good way to remove the solder mask so that I can solder the components to the board?

Waarom kunnen doorlopende componenten niet correct op de printplaat worden gesoldeerd??

I am an electrical engineer in a company. Recently I am developed a new product in lab and making a sample for further confirmation. When I solder TH component, feel a little troublesome. Any soldering expert to help?

How do you draw pin grid array in cadsoft Eagle PCB?

I’d like to use a processor that uses a pin grid array. Eigenlijk, I’d like to make the prototyping PCB board for it. I’m new to eagle. How can I connect the inner PGA pins to the header pins on the edge (without shorting the lines)?
