    摘要: The invention relates to a module for exchanging an interface unit in a test system with a handling unit and test unit for testing semiconductor elements. The module has a base element which is or can be attached to the test system, a holder for holding an interface unit, and guide elements which connect the holder to the base element. The guide elements are designed to guide the holder relative to the base element between the insertion position, in which the holder is located in the test system between the test unit and the handling unit, and the removal position, in which the holder is located outside an area between the test unit and the handling unit for exchanging the interface unit. Furthermore, at least one docking unit is provided, each with a docking element and a docking counter-element for coupling the holder to the base element in such a way that the coupling provides a rigid connection at least perpendicular to an interface plane. The docking element or the docking counter-element is attached to the holder and the docking counter-element or the docking element is attached to the base element, and the docking unit is designed for mechanically connecting and disconnecting the docking element to the docking mating element. The invention also relates to a test system with the module, methods for testing semiconductor elements and methods for exchanging interface units.

    摘要: In an automatic test system, a test computer of a kind of test equipment communicates with a loading-and-unloading computer of a kind of loading-and-unloading equipment. The loading-and-unloading equipment automatically loads a plurality of target devices on a plurality of test carriers according to the state of the test equipment, and the test equipment automatically tests the target devices loaded on the test carriers according to the state of the loading-and-unloading equipment. In addition, after the test is completed, the loading-and-unloading equipment automatically unloads the tested target devices from the test carriers, and automatically sorts the tested target devices according to the test results generated by the test equipment.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a test handler having a hand teaching function and a hand teaching method using same, the test handler comprising: a plurality of sites where devices are picked up or placed; reference points disposed adjacent to the plurality of sites, respectively; and a hand configured to transfer a device and including a sensor unit configured to calculate the position of a reference point in a non-contact manner. By the electronic component test handler having a hand teaching function and the hand teaching method using same, according to the present invention, an error which may occur due to repeated use or a position error required to be corrected according to exchange of kits can be automatically corrected using a reference groove, so that a separate work for position correction is not required and thus convenience and efficiency can be improved.

    摘要: A tray carrier includes a base plate having a first and second pairs of opposed sides as well as opposed first and second surfaces. Channel-shaped corner members provide containment formations for trays stacked at the first surface of the base plate. Tray carrier gripping cavities provided in the first pair of opposed sides can be engaged by gripping formations of an automated gripper to facilitate gripping the tray carrier. Raised portions at the first surface of the base plate provide a tray-gripping space engaged by gripping formations of the automated gripper to facilitate gripping trays stacked at the first surface of the base plate. Handle members at the second sides of the base plate facilitate manual handling of the tray carrier, and a pair of opposed recesses in the first sides of the base plate provide a narrowed intermediate portion of the base plate for manual handling of trays.
