A Versatile, Automated Device Programming System |
| |
The AP900 Automated Programming System comes equipped with four sites of the 9800 Universal Programmer. The model 9800 programs memory, microcontrollers, and programmable logic allowing for many device types to be supported by a single automated system.
From constant liaison with semiconductor manufacturers and high-profile customers, System General leads the industry to provide timely support of advanced devices on the latest technologies.
16 gigabits of buffer RAM embedded in each 9800 Universal Programmer provide ample memory to program large code and/or data files to support the most demanding of applications. 112 analog pin drivers in each 9800 enable System General the flexibility to add many devices on a single socket board, thus saving its customers on hardware costs and the number of adapters that need to be inventoried.
Devices are shipped in a variety of carrier packing types and the AP900 is versatile to interface to them all. The default interface is tray-input to tray-output. Optional tape-n-reel and tube interfaces are available to support any combination of input and output.

Advanced Hardware Designs Improve Operating Efficiency |
| |
The AP900 has an innovative gantry system with four nozzles, the first in its class. With the available quad-site socket boards installed the AP900 processes four devices at each programming cycle.
Other hardware innovations include the method of socket actuation and the type of pushers used. The socket pusher is a new plug-in type that doesn't require fastening screws. This reduces the time for pusher changes. The new socket actuation uses stepping motors to control the pushers. With stepping motors, the motion of socket actuation is slow and gentle which results in prolonged socket life and lower operation costs.
As with its predecessors, the AP900 uses System General's proprietary "Auto-Teach" mechanism to speed job changeover. To perform this function on the new 4-site gantry the system uses two downward-facing cameras to ensure Teach accuracy and an upward-facing camera to correct pick-up offset.
Alternatively, an option to use a mechanical precisor to further reduce the time for insertion alignment is available. The precisor centers all four devices instantly upon their drop-off. With quad-site socket boards and their corresponding precisor installed customers can expect the best throughput from their AP900.

A Solution to Reduce Operation Costs |
| |
The 9800 is compatible to use the single-site socket boards previously built for the model 9600 Programmer. This means that a customer's prior investment can be carried over to the new system.
With a few exceptions, System General's socket boards come with receptacles that make socket replacement as easy as tossing old sockets and plugging in new ones.
The AP900 is designed to be field-serviceable by customers' trained technicians. In case on-site services are preferred, System General offers different packages to meet the customer's needs and budget requirements.
Technical and device support are our strengths. The System General technical support team leverages an internal library containing step-by-step troubleshooting procedures to help customers resolve most of their service issues. Device support is the essence of the operations at System General. We provide free software updates, tested to our stringent standards, throughout the lifetime of our products. |
