Always employed as a final manufacturing step, functional testing provides a go or no-go decision on finished PCBs.

To maintain market leadership, Becton Dickinson had to reconfigure its operations to assemble new, more complicated medical devices--and do it quickly.

LEAK TESTING IS AN engineering challenge. On one hand, engineers must meet stricter leak rate standards. On the other, they have to make the leak testing process less costly and less dependent on operator skill. To meet this dilemma, engineers must understand all aspects of the leak testing process.
