Cam Services

Wherever you may be in the world, Gardien’s leading edge engineering service is at hand 24/7. As part of our Test and Fixturing services, or as a standalone offering, our engineers can take the pressure off your business, freeing up precious capabilities within your own engineering departments.

The Gardien guarantee

Shorter lead times

Equipped with state-of-the art design data processing capabilities, Gardien’s CAM Engineering Centers work around the clock to deliver your test programs when you need them.

Reduced front end CAM engineer work load

Gardien is there to take the strain when your own engineering capacities are stretched to the limit, or if you simply want to reduce the fixed costs of engineering and deploy your own engineers’ precious capabilities in more productive ways.

Optimized data preparation

With their deep understanding of the PCB manufacturing and test processes, our dedicated back-end engineers will optimize your test programs by converting your data into top quality tools and test files.

Expertise and security

Rather than generating fixture or flying probe programs from your Netlists, we generate our own from your raw data, and compare these with the Netlists you provide. This gives you and your clients the added security of a first stage quality control check. We do this using the sophisticated productivity improvement tools that we have developed in-house and which help you towards zero defect production processes.
