Transport and active temperature control of IC circuits to be tested using rotary transporter with liquid heated or cooled temperature control stations

摘要

The ICs (20) are transferred by a robot from trays (22) into a receptacle for test trays (29) located in a setting-up area (30). The ICs are transferred to a reversing unit (35) so that their connections point upwards and then loaded into carriers (40) on a rotary transporter (45). This has six temperature control stations (52,53,54,55,56,57) liquid heated or cooled and a test station (60)
