Motion System Helps Shatter Semiconductor Packaging Speed Records

 

Motion System Helps Shatter Semiconductor Packaging Speed Records The semiconductor industry has an urgent need for speed. Driven by intense cost and competitive pressures, semiconductor producers are trying to maximize the number of products they produce while improving outgoing quality. A critical point is the final step: inspection and packaging. The faster the finished integrated circuits are inspected and moved out the door, the faster the plant achieves return on investment.
