BPM Microsystems Uses AI to Automate Z-Teaching
Houston, TX — Pick-and-place errors account for the majority of quality issues when programming small devices. Pick-and-place inaccuracy occurs when the machine is not taught precisely. Teaching the machine man- ually is nearly impossible for small devices, and larger devices require operator skill and experience. Programming centers and manufac- turers programming small devices incur added costs for labor, machine idle time, lost devices, damaged devices, escapes, and poor yield.
gramming centers with five changeovers per day, this costs 2.5 hours machine idle time and labor costs. With WhisperTeach, the opera- tor initiates the program within the BPWin™ process control software during the normal set up workflow. WhisperTeach completes the task in 4.37 minutes with a standard devia- tion of 0.5 mil (12.7 µm), resulting in a savings of 2.14 hours per day. Companies have reported yields
as poor as 80 percent on very small parts using manual teach, depending

All-in-One Automated Test Platform from Acculogic
Markham, Ontario, Canada — Acculogic is now offering its FLS980 Series III flying probe tester, Scorpion BRiZ test and programming station and a comprehensive line of boundary scan test tools. The FLS980 Series III flying
probe platform contains a patented, double-sided probing system. The advanced robotic capabilities of the tester deliver high accuracy, enhanced test precision and improved test access. As a result, users can benefit from superior relia- bility and high test coverage. The Scorpion BRiZ is a unified
BPM’s WhisperTeach helps reduce pick-and-place errors. BPM has invented its Whisper -
Teach™, patent pending, to help pro- gramming centers and manufacturers reduce set up time per job, improve cycle time, reduce changeover time, and improve job accuracy. Whisper - Teach uses artificial intelligence (AI) and an enhanced pneumatic system to learn and determine the accurate z- height between the nozzle and device. Companies have reported man-
ual teaching small devices takes up to 30 minutes per station. For pro-
on operator skill. WhisperTeach pro- duces a job yield of 99.99 percent by eliminating any teach-related issues. WhisperTeach supports a wide range of device sizes and is now available on the BPM 3900 and BPM 4900 auto-
mated programming systems. Contact: BPM Microsystems,

automated test and validation plat- form that can consolidate any variety of circuit board test and program- ming application into a single, com- pact, low-cost test station. The in- line, scalable system has a reusable test fixture base, and can be engi- neered for any R&D or test require- ment, including: analog, digital (boundary scan/JTAG), power, and conformance testing of LTE/LTE-A, Bluetooth, WLAN, and GPS. Also, Acculogic has developed a
novel way to test the wirebonds in battery arrays using its robotic test platform. With a marked increase in demand for batteries on the horizon, for electric vehicles (EVs), mobile energy storage, solar power, and energy-efficient homes, the company is paving the way for large-scale, high-speed battery array testing. Acculogic’s comprehensive line
of boundary scan test tools can be effectively used in the entire product lifecycle, starting with design verifi- cation and validation, and continuing into pilot production and manufac-
