ProMaster 970 (Flash Support)

The ProMaster 970 design integrates Data I/O's latest state-of-the art programming technology with the finest resolution handling system. Specifically designed for use in an automated programming environment, the new programming subsystem can be configured with either 8 or 12 sites to best address volume requirements. All industrial grade, high quality motion components from linear motors to steel frame construction are designed to provide the highest reliability and performance for mission critical applications. Socketing is designed to be cost efficient to reduce ownership costs for high-mix applications. Device change over is quickly accomplished in less than 10 minutes, and programmers can be inserted or removed from the configuration as needed.

The ProMaster 970 is controlled under Data I/O's premier production automation software, TaskLink for Windows*. Everything from configuration, job scheduling, programming operations, test results reporting, and system data logging is provided through an intuitive easy to use interface. Production centers around the world are using Data I/O's TaskLink software to manage their programming operations and ensure quality output for their customers or end users.

Two Pick-and-Place heads to optimize throughput at any programming time.
Devices are picked and processed through the system to reduce "empty socket time"
and derive the maximum efficiency from the system. Furthermore, devices are
staged through the laser marking system so that adding the marking operation does
not reduce throughput more than 10 percent at any program time.

Support for Tray, Tube, and Tape input and output is available and can be easily installed and removed as part of device change over. Media conversion is quick and easy and requires no specialized device tooling.

The ProMaster 970 features three optically based alignment systems:

Integrated Laser Alignments (Standard): Instant device registration is accomplished "on the fly" with an integrated laser-alignment system built into each PNP head. No special tooling is needed and no contact with the part occurs during device registration. This system supports devices up to 31mm x 31mm (84PLCC/ 208QFP)

Arm-Mounted Calibration Camera
(Optional): To quickly calibrate socket positions and automatically align placement, an arm-mounted vision system is available. This system also permits periodic recalibration and compensation for any thermal changes induced by temperature fluctuation.

Table-Mounted Dev i ce-Registration Camera (Optional): For very large devices (>31mm), an upward looking camera is available.
