  • Specification

SKID® is engineered to support a wide range of PCB testing and debugging scenarios with unmatched flexibility. Whether you're working in R&D, production QA, or environmental test labs, SKID® simplifies the test setup process.

The platform is available in three frame sizes:

  • SKID S for 3U boards (160×160 mm clamping)

  • SKID M for 6U boards

  • SKID L for large boards (up to 300×340 mm)

Even odd-shaped or irregular PCBs can be easily secured thanks to adjustable PCBA spacers. The PCBs are clamped 10 mm above the frame surface, ensuring unobstructed access from both the top and bottom. The full platform is elevated 90 mm from the surface for comfortable handling and test probe integration.

Designed for real-world testing, SKID® tolerates extreme temperatures, making it suitable for climate chamber and automotive-grade reliability testing.

Its M6 threaded frame allows users to attach accessories like lamps, cameras, or PMK’s 3D probe positioners directly. With a sturdy, compact build and rapid setup capabilities, SKID® is a lab essential for efficient, repeatable PCB diagnostics.

  • Hands-free, stable platform for PCBA testing and debugging

  • Modular and expandable design for any PCB shape or size

  • Withstands environmental testing from -55°C to +155°C

  • Compatible with PMK 3D positioners, lights, and other accessories

  • Clamps PCBs 10 mm above frame for dual-side access

  • Intuitive setup with fast clamping and M6 threaded frame

  • Three frame sizes: SKID S (3U), SKID M (6U), SKID L (up to 300×340 mm)
