“The handler” as the IC test equipment uses multiple sensors.
Cost reduction or downsizing depends on how to reduce these
wires and to save space.
S-LINK realizes wire-saving and space-saving; hence these
problems are solved all at once.
Many small picking sensors are employed in the parts picking
system in order to verify the correct selection of components.
The number of input points is required as much as the number
of shelves, the number of output points is also required to be
the same in adopting the operational indicators.
S-LINK system greatly contributes to wire-saving both in I/O
points and in space. Also, extra shelves can be added easily.
