Achieving throughputs of up to 12,000 pph, Ismeca’s test/ handling system M232 for power devices is designed for efficient completion of D-Paks and TOs. The processes include flexible loading via a tube loader ora direct link with a trim-and- form system. This machine has a 32-position turret that accommodates up to eight test stations, featuring parallel testing. Each device undergoes an electrical test, then laser marked and inspected for mold-and-mark quality, followed by 3D-lead inspection. Rejects are loaded into tubes. The high throughput, combined with the integrated processes, assures high economy. Its flexible design allows parts that have been tested and that are known good to be output to two taping modules or up to four tube output systems. Based on line-balancing needs, one trim-and-form system can feed several machines to ensure maximum use of equipment resources. An octagonal shape with a compact footprint enables the M232 to conserve floor space while affording easy access to all machine subassemblies.
