ares auto setup Features Automated Setup in All Movements
Rosenheim, Germany, 01 September 2024 — esmo group (esmo), a leading global full-service systems integrator, developer, and supplier of innovative and advanced automation solutions, is proud to announce the launch of ares auto setup (as), the world’s first final test manipulator capable of automated test head positioning.
Final test manipulators play a pivotal role in semiconductor manufacturing. They are responsible for the precise positioning of test heads and boards to prepare the final testing phase.
Josef Weinberger, Head of Business Unit esmo semicon, said, “ares as is an important step, not just for our company, but also for the industry at large. With ares as, the world’s first automated final test manipulator, we are optimizing operational efficiency, and more importantly, shaping the future of semiconductor production processes.”
ares as brings a paradigm shift to the semiconductor industry. Unlike other final test manipulators, ares as allows for the automated manipulation of movement in x, y, z, and more rotational axes, enabling seamless and precise positioning of boards and test heads. This advancement simplifies the testing process, and eliminates the need for manual operation, saving time, resources, and costs. Additionally, the ares as offers a range of linear and rotational motions to meet individual setup requirements.
The ares as’ vision control and absolute value encoders ensure that each movement is precise and controlled, preventing any deviations or errors that might impact the integrity of the semiconductor components under test.
The automated setup feature reduces the time required for positioning and testing by eliminating the need for manual intervention. With a simple “push of a button”, ares as swiftly and accurately repositions the components for the next phase of testing, allowing semiconductor manufacturers to stay ahead of the curve and meet tight production deadlines. ares as’ automation also minimizes the need for manual labor, reducing the chances of human error and improving the overall quality and reliability of semiconductor products.
