Covid-19 second update

Having adjusted to the ‘new normal’, ipTEST strengthens its operations during the global pandemic.

We adjusted our working patterns and re-organised our office and factory spaces at the beginning of the emergency and these measures have ensured that we are able to continue to operate safely and at full capacity. Our number one priority continues to be the safety of those around us and their families.

Where customer site visits are not possible due to travel and quarantine restrictions, our Support teams are able to help customers virtually through videoconference facilities and we are increasing our library of training and installation videos which customers can download from our website. Thanks to the support of our loyal partners, our supply chain continues to ensure we are able to deliver customer orders on time.

Please drop us a line on our feedback page if you have any comments or questions.

COVID-19 update

ipTEST is open as normal and continuing to supply orders to their acknowledged delivery dates.

Like many businesses across the globe at the moment, ipTEST is balancing the requirements of upholding sensible precautions against Covid-19 to keep our staff and society safe whilst also keeping the business running smoothly and delivering customer systems, spares and repairs.

We have adjusted our working practices so that office staff and support engineers are able to work remotely, whilst those staff dealing with assembling, packing and shipping continue to work in the factory to make sure we continue to supply products.

We would like to thank our employees, suppliers and customers for their continued support and we will keep you informed when the situation changes. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any questions.

M2 DS5 Mk2

The development of the M2 DS5 Mk2 gives an appreciable improvement to the performance of the DS5 product, to extend its capability to higher currents and improve robustness in the presence of potentially damaging energy pulses.

M2 DS5 Short Circuit Apps Adapter

ipTEST have concluded the development of the DS5 short circuit apps adapter that enables us to perform high speed stress tests on the new generation of semiconductor devices, adapting conventional component handling equipment previously considered inadequate for such testing, thereby providing greater productivity at lower cost. For more information please see our M2 webpage.

11 Pin Adapter Control Mk2

ipTEST today announced a significant improvement to the control element of the 11 Pin Adapter, to increase measurement accuracy and extend the scope of its application.

M2 Four Slot Backplane

Today ipTEST announced an extension to the M2 system architecture. The M2 four slot backplane allows simultaneous control of multiple resources in a single enclosure, thereby reducing cost and increasing efficiency. Most importantly, it allows extra test card generators to be added to a system at a later date. This means test systems can be upgraded or boosted with additional current sources.
