New automated fine pitch programming systems released
7 November 2001
DSP, Micros & Memory
Spescom MeasureGraph has launched the DataI/O PS200 and PS300, which it claims are the highest performance and most versatile fine pitch automated programming systems available. These systems are developed from the completely re-engineered PP100 platform.
Throughput of up to 1250 devices per hour and reduced programming times of up to 30% are some of the more notable changes and improvements. Tests have shown that with the new Pentium Processor, PS300 programming times for an Intel 128 Mbit Flash memory device are reduced 34% compared to the previous times achievable on the PP100, according to the company. The software has been re-written and the reliability and build quality set new standards for production equipment uptime.
Since the PS series of products can be configured and optimised for any application, the versatility and new performance features (enhanced servo motor performance - 1250DPH and Pentium controller) mean that the PS series of products maximise daily output levels at the lowest cost per programmed part.
The PS200 and PS300 are the results of two years of engineering investment, resulting in systems with high reliability, great performance and new options, UI features, fail safes, etc. says Data I/O. It is important thus, to differentiate these systems from the PP100s in the field: The PS200 directly replaces the PP100. The PS300 is the same system as the PS200 but with Pentium-based programmers installed for high-density Flash devices (faster programming speeds and capable of supporting 128 and 256 MB devices).
The PS200 and PS300 will replace the PP100 and all its accessories. However, all options for the PP100, spares, etc. can still be sold; the model numbers simply change from PP to PS model numbers. Furthermore, PP100s can be upgraded to either a PS200 or PS300.
Key benefits of the PS200 and PS300 are: respond quickly to new business opportunities and changing production needs; maximise daily output; manage capacity requirements cost effectively; maximise ROI; protect investment; and increase productivity.
