Test Handler upgradeable from Engineering to High-Volume

20 May 2011 - Multitest announced the new MT2168 test handler. Due to its scalable design the base unit configuration can be adjusted to the actual requirements – not only at the initial installation, but also later, e.g. if the MT2168 is moved from engineering to a high-volume site.

The upgrade from a basic and very cost-efficient configuration to a higher level setup can be performed in the field at any time. The MT2168 generally offers various configurations with smooth transitions. As a result, the system can be configured to fit to the needs of any engineering site. This scalability enables users to optimize parallelism, test time throughput and level of automation.

In addition to cost savings, the scalable design of the MT2168 also ensures that the final test in volume production is done on the respective equipment that was used for product and test development. This is true within one IDM as well as for the cooperation between fabless companies and OSATs.
