The FAST-LOCK system ensures that the PCB stays in place while it is being tested. When the user presses down the handle to close the bench, the FAST-LOCKS instantly move towards the edges of the PCB. When the test probes reach the PCB it has already been fixated by the FAST-LOCK.

One of the major advantages of this system is that because you do not need to fixate the PCB on its top side you will not interfere with the test pads embedded in the PCB. The FAST-LOCKS are a standard accessory to the TEST-OK system. The working principle of the FAST-LOCK is explained in the following images.

	1.	This is the main component of the FAST-LOCK system. The FAST-LOCK is mounted on the centre module by means of a standard screw.
	2.	The FAST-LOCK pin is mounted on the bottom module by means of a M4 bolt. Once the bench is closed by pushing the handle down the pin moves upwards in the designated slot in the FAST-LOCK.
	3.	Once the bench is fully closed the PCB is held in position by a piece that moves out of the FAST-LOCK and against the side of the PCB.
	4.	In this image you can how the PCB is fixated by the FAST-LOCK in a test-situation.
