Ismeca’s integrated test-and-taping system, the MP-plunge, is ideal for mid-volume input from tube or bulk-to-tape applications requiring plunge-to-board test capability, to achieve throughput of up to 3,600 pph. It features vision inspection, electrical test and taping with optional laser mark capabilities. The machine is RF-compatible and interfaces with most testers. Rejected parts are automatically sorted and placed into three to five output bins. Its compact footprint enables conserving factory floor space, while affording easy access to all subassemblies. Its multiple vision inspection capabilities include mark, pin 1, 2D-pad and 3D-coplanarity inspection. The machine features two linear servo gantrys: one for input-to-dial, and one for output-to-tape. Its single plunge-to-board rotary unit, with a re-centering-before-plunging capability, allows parts to be taken from dial-to-test socket. The system is able to interface to host systems by using SECS/GEM protocol.
