High-Speed Acoustic Microscope Well Received
Elk Grove Village, IL, July 16, 2010 - The introduction at Semicon of Sonoscan's high-throughput FastLine(TM) C-SAM acoustic microscope has brought praise from potential users of the system, Sonoscan reports.
The most frequently discussed feature of the P300 FastLine is the SafeLoad(TM) carrier system, which permits one tray of parts to be scanned by the transducer while a second tray is being simultaneously loaded.
When the first tray is done, it is removed and the second tray slides into place so that scanning can begin immediately with the push of a single button.
Simultaneous scanning and loading on this manual system means that operation can be continuous to yield the highest throughput.
"This one feature will make a great deal of difference to our throughput, and is an obvious cost reducer," said Ronald Sato, Director of Backend Operations and Package Engineering at Linear Technology Corporation in Milpitas, CA. "It also helps that this new system has solid Sonoscan support behind it."
The P300 FastLine also has a minimized footprint, a new electronics platform, and Sonolytics(TM), a highly intuitive user interface.
