The interface load board with its stiffeners are one of the most expensive and sensitive parts of the complete test cell. As an item that needs to be operated frequently, the mostly very heavy and cumbersome characteristics can cause unintended damage to the equipment while handling, as well as a negative long term impact on the physical healthiness of the operators.
Turbodynamics Probecard Handling Trolleys are designed to prevent that.
These Trolleys are available both as top and bottom load solutions. Safe transport between storage location and point of use is guaranteed for Probecards weighing up to 40 kg.
The latest option is the fully automated PC Trolley, which transports Probecards between a Storage System and the Wafer Prober with an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) which is a further step towards automation in an integrated handling process.
The Auto Probecard Trolley complements the storage system for Probecards to a next level of automation.
We have combined an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) together with a Probecard trolley to a fully automated transport vehicle for heavy Probecards.
The Auto Probe card Trolley supplements the features of the manual trolley, the simplified and secure handling of the heavy Probecards together with a fully automated process, which does not require assistance through operators anymore.
It can handle Probecards up to 40kg and handover to either our Probecard storage system or wafer probers. The modular gripper enables adaption to different types of Probecards.
It is compatible to existing automation systems as it is using the common SEMI communication standards (E84,E82).
It`s modular and compact design makes it easy to use on the test floors. The AGV is compatible with already existing automated material handling systems and can be integrated without any difficulty.

2nd Generation Probe Card Handling Universal Trolley XL
Leveraging our customers learning and experience during 3 years use of our first generation probe card handling trolley in production, we are proud to be able to offer our enhanced 2nd generation Probe Card Universal Trolley XL since summer 2024 to our customers.
The Probe Card Universal Trolley XL is a semi automated solution for risk free handling of large and heavy probe cards and load boards, addressing ergonomic handling and exchange requirements of our customers in probing and final test. The large height adjustment range is supporting the exchange of the probe card at the probers probe card changer (SACC/APC) or at a board changer at final test P&P or strip handlers. The height leveling will be drive supported and the operator is able to manually turn the board orientation and flip the probe card for removal of the probe head cover prior to loading.
