Overview

Delta’s Castle handlers incorporate a patented vertical tray handling system that provides high input/output automation in an extremely small footprint. The system is available in both memory and logic configurations. Castle Mx32 provides parallel testing of up to thirty-two devices. Castle Lx offers the same small footprint as the Mx32. Castle EC is interface compatible with the existing Castle Lx system and permits the addition of external process modules, such as input loading, extended sort categories, laser mark, etc. Delta’s Castle Lx is a hot and cold pick-and-place handler and it is capable of thermally conditioning devices from -60C to +160C. The Lx can position from one to nine devices for testing. Its large thermal soak area provides a steady flow of thermally conditioned devices to the test site allowing the handler to process parts at high speed when running at temperature. The Castle contains an innovative vertical tray storage system which saves space on the test floor by minimizing the handler’s footprint.
