This is an inspection machine for electronic components and integrated circuits.
For one major client, an increasing percentage of automobile parts have become electronic.
As these parts will be subjected to severe outdoor driving conditions, their reliability must be assured since people’s lives are at stake.
When temperature is a factor, operation must be normally be guaranteed from -40°C to 120°C.
Each piece must be inspected, so an efficient in-line inspection process is essential.
Feature
Low temperature
Testers can attain temperatures of -40°C or lower, depending on conditions.
High temperature
Testers can attain temperatures of up to 160°C.
Production line integration
Enables in-line inspection for increased efficiency.
Continuous operation
Testers can be continuously operated for a week.
With a weekly timer, they can be set to defrost at on a Friday or Saturday and resume operation at -40°C on the following Monday.
No liquid nitrogen necessary
Proprietary dual-compression system eliminates the need for liquid nitrogen.
Refrigeration control
Refrigeration units are all developed in-house to enable precise temperature control.
Choose from our AI-870 (3HP, water-cooled), AI-860 (2HP, air-cooled), and AI-830 (2HP, water-cooled) models.
Broad experience
A.I. TEC has worked with a wide range of companies to meet their refrigeration needs.
Please contact us if you have specific refrigeration requirements.
