Siplace WPC (Waffle Pack Changer), for SX placement machines, provides a non-stop supply of component trays. Features a non-stop module that permits the adding of full trays and removal of empty ones without having to interrupt the production flow. Automatically moves new trays to their specified destination in the vertical carrier with 28 positions. Depending on carrier position, trays reportedly can be exchanged in two to three seconds. Eliminates positioning errors of manual systems. Can be combined with Siplace COT30 30-track feeder changeover table.

Differential contactors are customized for each semiconductor test application; contactor materials and probes are optimized for desired impedance. Configurations are derived from 3D electromagnetic simulation software and lab-correlated data; permit experimentation and optimization of the contactor properties. Increasing data rates of semiconductor devices require the test interface from the tester to the DUT be carefully designed to maintain signal integrity. Reduce signal amplitudes, increase speeds, reduce I/O counts and provide improved immunity to external noise; lead to size and power reductions for consumer products such as cellphones and laptops.

ATS Spray Fluxer is a closed system in which a rotary pump continuously transports flux from the container into a bypass system. For spraying, a bypass valve interrupts the circuit and leads the flux to the spray head. Spray head uses HVLP technology that generates atomization of the flux with a comparatively low pressure; ensures a stable spray jet with a homogeneous spray pattern. Creates considerably less spray mist, reducing soiling in the fluxer area. Both flux quantity and spray pressure are adjustable. All connections are designed as quick-acting closures. Spray head is quickly exchangeable. Flux container is equipped with an additional cover; can be taken out completely. All electrical and pneumatic parts remain in the soldering system.
