Series 8780 Semiconductor Device Handler

MC Systems, Inc.'s Series 8780 Semiconductor Device Handler was designed to be operator and technician friendly, have minimum downtime and with a high production throughput rate. The Series 8780 can be interfaced to most Testers or Programmers, to automate the Testing or Programming of semiconductor devices. A recent addition is the Microchip Technology, Inc.'s new programmer designated MPLAB PM3 Universal Device Programmer that is especially useful for automatically handling/programming 150/300 mil SOICs PIC Parts and the up to 28L 208 mil SSOP PIC Parts. As of January 1, 2006, MC Systems, Inc. has developed a Series of Handler/Programmer Interface Modules to fit the requirements of the BP Microsystems, Inc. new BPWin Windows Operating System.

Package Types
The Series 8780 is dedicated to a package size/type. Conversions kits are available to change to other package sizes/type.

General
The Series 8780 uses an imbedded microprocessor controller that continuously monitoring self-diagnostics software which is designed to detect any work stoppages that occur and then attempt to automatically to clear the stoppage. If a stoppage can not be cleared an error message is displayed on the LCD display panel. Once the operator clears the stoppage the handler resumes automatic operations. The imbedded processor allow for software upgrades and custom programming to meet specialized applications.

The handler is gravity fed, with a straight flow through design eliminating multiple transition points, which can cause jams.

Using the factory recommended preventative maintenance schedule typical up time is better than 95%.

Integration of the users supplied tester's test cycle time with the handler's index time gives a throughput of 1800 parts per hour with 1 second test time

The input on the Series 8780 Handler is a single tube plus nineteen inches of storage capacity in the input reservoir. (There is an optional twenty-tube capacity automatic tube unloader for the input).

There are six individual outputs on the handler, each output tube can be matrixed in any combination to one of six test sorts from the user supplied tester.

The output shuttle checks alignment prior to sorting the tested part. If the shuttle is not aligned the handler will auto align the shuttle to the test site output. Auto aligning eliminates the need of periodic calibrations.

Each of the output tubes has a tube detect optic to prevent sorting parts to outputs with no tube in place.

In addition each sort also has a sort parity detect optic that ensures when a part is sorted to a specific tube that the part actually goes to that tube.

If an error does occur during sorting the sort shuttle stops over the output that the parts was sorted to and a message is displayed on the operator control display.

The handler to tester handshake signals are Hi going Lo TTL logic levels, making it possible to interface the Series 8780 handler to virtually make or model of tester.
