esmo Group, a leading global systems integrator and supplier of advanced automation solutions, has introduced ares auto setup, the world’s first automated final test manipulator with the ability to automatically locate and position test heads. Final test manipulators are essential in semiconductor manufacturing, ensuring the precise alignment of test heads and boards for the final testing phase.
Josef Weinberger, Head of Business Unit esmosemicon, remarked, “ares auto setup is a significant milestone for both our company and the entire industry. By introducing the world’s first automated final test manipulator, we are improving operational efficiency and shaping the future of semiconductor production.”
The ares auto setup revolutionizes the semiconductor sector. Unlike traditional manipulators, it automates movement across multiple axes—x, y, z, and rotational—enabling flawless and exact positioning of boards and test heads. This innovation simplifies the testing process, removes the need for manual adjustments, and reduces time, costs, and resource consumption. Furthermore, ares auto setup offers diverse linear and rotational motions to accommodate specific setup requirements.
Equipped with advanced vision control and absolute value encoders, the ares auto setup ensures precise and controlled movements, eliminating potential errors that could compromise the integrity of semiconductor components. The automation of setup and testing processes reduces the time needed for positioning, allowing components to be quickly and accurately repositioned with the push of a button. This feature enables semiconductor manufacturers to meet tight deadlines while reducing reliance on manual labor and minimizing human error. Ultimately, this leads to improved quality and reliability in the final product.
