Handler for electronic components

The Handler for electronic components is an equipment for handling diodes and transistors in specific mechanical configurations, made by IPRS Băneasa [1].

The I.P.R.S. Băneasa Full Line Condensed Catalog (1990) describes its operation: the electronic components are put into a vibrator, a singulator mechanism feeds the measuring system with components, and the measured components are sent to the distribution system, which separates them into classes according to their electrical parameters [1]. It has a built-in electronic counter for each bin; the testing equipment (a computer controlled multiprogrammer and test heads) is supplied on request, and special designs are available on request, depending on the type and dimensions of the components to be tested [1].

The catalog gives dimensions of 900 × 500 × 1200 mm, a weight of 175 kg, a power supply of 0.5 kVA, one test station and Kelvin contacts; the singulator mechanism is actuated by an air cylinder (70 psi, 3 l/min) for diodes and by a step-by-step motor for transistors; the throughput (at zero testing time) is 4000 pcs/hr for diodes and 5000 pcs/hr for transistors, with at most 25 bins for diodes and 20 for transistors; the packages are DO-35 and DO-41 for diodes, TO-39 and TO-92 for transistors [1]. Its drawing, with the vibrator, conveyer, measuring system (head), classifying system and boxes numbered, is in the Gallery [1].
