Free Functional Testing Upgraded! Enjoy Better Service by Seeed Fusion PCB Assembly
Big News!!! New Free Functional Testing launched! In order to ensure our product quality and improve customer experience, Free Functional Testing Plan was launched by Seeed Fusion 2 years ago and we received lots of good feedback. Now we decide to upgrade our service, the new rules are as follows:
- Orders that amounted to $3000 or over can get 1pcs free functional testing.
- For orders greater than $5000, we will provide 100% free testing if the quantity is less than 100pcs, and 10% if reaching 100pcs
PCBA manufacturing is very complicated and contains many different processes. Therefore, functional testing is a critical quality control method to ensure the performance of the assembled PCB. At Seeed Fusion, we recognize the importance of testing, so Seeed Fusion has now officially launched free functional testing for all PCBA orders.
Why is testing important?
Nothing is more disappointing than receiving a product dead-on-arrival, including PCB assemblies. The consequences are costly, both economically and in terms of time, and may be difficult to remedy, especially without the necessary re-work equipment. With small-batch manufacturing, it may not be feasible to utilize more expensive testing methods such as AOI, or x-ray inspection (AXI). That is where functional testing can help.
What is PCBA Functional Testing?
The final quality assurance step in the entire production process, functional testing verifies that the boards do what they are supposed to do, by simulating the real operating environment. This can be as simple as an on/off power test, LED test or running of a comprehensive software program.
Seeed now provides free functional testing for one piece with every PCBA order to ensure the quality of your PCBA products and avoid costly delays.
As always in manufacturing, the earlier problems are found, the cheaper and easier they are to remedy. By allowing Seeed engineers to take care of testing before the boards are shipped to you, any defective boards can be re-worked on site, ensuring that all boards leaving the production floor work as intended.
Our technicians can also perform point-to-point voltage tests, create custom test jigs and take care of burning firmware in-house.
How to Get Free PCBA Functional Testing for 1 Piece?
Testing only one piece can highlight errors that cannot be detected by visual inspection alone and verify the entire turnkey process. Be one of the first to take advantage of this service. It’s so simple and quick.
First, as usual, upload your Gerber files and BOM file, and select the board’s parameters and any other features. The system will generate the PCBA quotation as usual.
After completing the above, navigate to the functional testing section and below and select [Free Functional Testing for 1 piece]. Then, upload the test plan instructing us how to test the board functions as expected. You can also upload the test plan later, anytime before the boards are complete.
Notes: Functional testing for one piece will typically increase the lead time by around two working days. High precision testing and high voltage testing or any testing that poses a health risk to technicians will not be accepted. Customers will be expected to pay for any specialist tools or materials required for testing.
