The Model 3000B
with Eight Automatic Inputs
E
XATRON
'
S
eight-tube Octoloader is an ambient automatic eight-tube loader. The standard Model 3000B
comes equipped with this octoloader which is a moving metal plate holding up to eight tubes of devices,
controlled by the handler's CPU by means of a stepper motor. The plate automatically moves both left
and right, positioning each tube of devices over the handler input track. When the input track is emptied,
the octoloader automatically searches for tubes with devices. The octoloader has a sensor mounted at its
junction with the input track. The octoloader can "see" a device jam and stop its own movement to
prevent breaking the jammed device. The octoloader also has an automatic "wiggle" jam-clearing
operation which it will implement immediately in an effort to remove the jam without operator assistance.
Model 3000B octoloaders use a Snap-On plate which is specifically fitted with tube holders for a given
device application.
All Model 3000B Handlers not intended to be used on a "FRED," (Free Rolling E
XATRON
Dolly) are
supplied with bench-top base plates which must be bolted directly to a bench or table top to secure the
handler. Each plate includes two sets of tilt bars which enable the handler's tilt angle to be altered for
specific applications. The tilt angle is critical for ceramic DIPs and LCCs since too much drop angle may
cause chipping of the packages.
