Chris and all; News from BusinessWire about a new unit from Delta for RF Wireless IC handling. What's everyones take on this?
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 12, 2000--Cohu, Inc.
(NASDAQ:COHU.O) through its Delta Design unit announced today its new
Delta 1888 handler for RF/Wireless handling applications. The 1888 is
a gravity-feed handler designed specifically for handling RF/Wireless
ICs. High frequency devices require special handling to ensure the
maximum yield is obtained from the test cell. The 1888 has been
designed to create the optimum RF testing environment.
The test site has been designed to allow maximum flexibility in RF
interface design. The plunge-to-board feature is software programmable
for ease of setup. The plunge index time enables up to 7,200 UPH for
single site and 14,400 UPH for dual site high frequency testing
applications. "The test site, from the plunger drive mechanism to the
design and material in the nest holding the device for test, is
specifically designed for RF testing," commented Kevin Brennan,
Director of Marketing.
The Delta 1888 incorporates active mechanisms throughout the part
path to provide a continuous flow of parts through the handler. "This
handler was designed specifically for the RF Test Cell," stated
Brennan. "From the casters on up it has been designed to deliver
maximum yield and productivity for RF/Wireless production test
environments."
