Core offering

atg Luther & Maelzer GmbH manufactures and sells electrical bare board test equipment for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and substrates. The product portfolio includes manual and automated flying probe test systems, flying probe substrate test systems capable of testing structures down to 10 µm, and fixture-based test systems, all built around a proprietary multi-head technology architecture. The company also provides spare parts, consumables, accessories, and service solutions for installed equipment.

Product overview

atg Luther & Maelzer offers a comprehensive portfolio of bare board testing equipment under the Mycronic Group. The product line comprises four main categories: (1) Manual Flying Probe Test Systems (A5 Neo, A7 Pro, A7-16 Pro, A9, A9L, A9XL, A9 plus) featuring unique multi-head technology for outstanding speed and throughput, increasingly used for larger quantities to eliminate fixture building needs; (2) Automated Flying Probe Test Systems (A7a Pro, A9a, A9aL, A9a plus) combining automation with high throughput for mid-size production and sample volumes; (3) Flying Probe Substrate Test Systems (S3, S3-8) capable of testing structures down to 10 µm with several hundred thousand test points per panel, utilizing scanning, capacitance measurement, and temperature management; and (4) Fixture Based Test Systems (LM1000) offering easy and fast fixture building with optical alignment. The portfolio covers all PCB technologies including Multilayer, FPCB, LTCC, HDI, SLP/mSAP, and Substrates, serving end markets such as Consumer Products, Automotive, Infrastructure, Industrial, Medical, and Aerospace & Defence.

Broad incumbents

• Keysight Technologies: Large US-based electronic test and measurement company whose instruments (oscilloscopes, source measure units, etc.) can be used in PCB/substrate electrical test workflows. Broader T&M incumbent rather than a dedicated bare-board tester.
• Rohde & Schwarz: German electronic T&M company headquartered near atg's home market. Provides instruments used for PCB and electrical signal testing but does not focus on dedicated bare board flying probe systems.
• Hioki E.E. Corporation: Japanese manufacturer of electrical measurement instruments including instruments used in PCB testing and quality control. Broader T&M player with overlap in PCB electrical measurement use cases.

Direct peers

• Test Research, Inc. (TRI): Taiwanese provider of test, inspection, and measurement equipment for PCB and electronics manufacturing. Overlaps with atg in PCB testing equipment serving similar Asian PCB manufacturing customers.
• MicroCraft K.K. Japanese manufacturer of flying probe testers (e.g., MPT series) used by PCB fabricators worldwide. Direct competitor in the bare board flying probe test segment.
• SPEA S.p.A. Italian supplier of automated test equipment including flying probe systems for PCB and substrate testing. Directly competes with atg in the same product category with similar customer profile in PCB manufacturing.
• Seica S.p.A. Italian manufacturer of flying probe and fixture-based automated test equipment for bare and assembled PCBs. Directly comparable product portfolio and target customer base (PCB fabricators and EMS providers) to atg Luther & Maelzer.
• Takaya Corporation: Japanese pioneer of flying probe test technology for bare and assembled PCBs, with a global installed base in PCB fabrication. Closely comparable to atg's flying probe systems across manual and automated configurations.
• Acculogic Inc. North American vendor of flying probe and in-circuit test systems for bare and assembled PCBs. Directly competes with atg in flying probe testing for PCB manufacturers.

Others

• Polar Instruments: Supplier of impedance and test-related systems for PCB fabrication. Adjacent ecosystem participant in PCB test rather than a direct competitor to atg's flying probe systems.
