Series 457

The VP Series 457 CAMGATE mechanical kits, utilizing the patented CAM mechanism, offer precise Z axis linear motion when testing higher point count and finer pitch test centers. By using the Z axis motion, side load of the test probes is minimized thus increasing probe life and performance. The Series 457 provides interface compatibility using the Virginia Panel ITA G12 interface. The ITA frame is offered as an option for those preferring to provide their own ITA Interface. The CAM/GATE utilizes a cam roller system for precision guiding and smooth operation and 1.00” push plate movement. The gate assembly is movable to three different positions which allows for the versatility of top side probing, or relocating the frame assembly for PCA’s the have tall components.
