The Exatron Model 902 is a pick-and-place IC handler offered in Random Sort and Burn-in Board Transfer configurations. The Model 902 Random Sort IC Handler identifies and sorts assorted bulk devices to output tape or tray, best suited for devices 0.5mm x 0.5mm to 2.0mm x 2.0mm. The Model 902 Burn-in Board Transfer IC Handler transfers devices from JEDEC trays to burn-in boards and back again, based on the Exatron Model 900.[1][2]

What it is
The Exatron 902 is a series of pick-and-place IC handlers used in semiconductor test and packaging operations. The series includes the Model 902 Random Sort IC Handler and the Model 902 Burn-in Board Transfer IC Handler. The 902 is based on the Exatron Model 900 platform. The system is designed, manufactured, and built in San Jose, California.[1][2]
How it works
The Exatron 902 uses an X-Y positioning system driven by servo motor–driven lead screws. The X-Y axis resolution is 0.1 mm (0.003 inch). The maximum X-Y axis velocity is 122 cm/s (48 inches per second). The Z-axis plunger is driven by a servo motor and lead screw with a resolution of ±0.1 mm and a repeatability of ±0.1 mm. The placement force is up to 10 kg (20 lb). The theta drive system uses precision stepper motors with a resolution of 0.1° and a repeatability of ±0.1 mm.[1][2]
