MR252/MR252-M model is part of the Micro Prober family of high-speed open and short circuit testers for flexible and rigid circuit boards. Reportedly reduces test takt time; cuts footprint by about 30%. Sets upper limit to the size of target circuit boards. MR252-M can do two processes in parallel – continuity/insulation tests and marking of test results on the target boards – by putting on a separate stage a mechanism that marks test results on the circuit board. High-speed test capable of 500,000 to one million contacts per month. High-precision positioning with an accuracy of 5 µm plus or minus. Recognizes images captured with a CCD camera built in each testing head mounted on a moving arm; corrects positioning of the testing jig on X, Y and theta (tilt) axes. Test circuit unit is capable of four-terminal sensing.

Continuous Path Motion Control software for jetting underfill for flip chips optimizes dispense head motion, saving time and increasing units per hour. Instead of stopping to move between die, backtracking, ramping to speed, dispensing, and decelerating, the head maintains a continuous speed and direction throughout the process. Improves overall cycle time by 27% under certain conditions.

NCM5000 dispense pump has two wetted parts -- a flexible diaphragm and nozzle plate -- and no seals or springs to replace or adjust, to simplify field operation. Uses a high-speed pneumatic solenoid to drive jetting action. Offers continuous frequency of up to 300Hz. Main body of pump has built-in non-wetted heater to maintain fluid temperature for consistent results. Priming volume is 0.09 cc, minimizing lost materials and maximizing production per fluid reservoir. 

Replaceable diaphragm is impregnated with carbide ball and available in different materials for fluid compatibility. Nozzle plate can be configured with durable ceramic nozzles in a variety of sizes. Nozzles are field replaceable and require no adjustments once replaced. For UV encapsulants, underfills and SMT adhesives.
