Program mandate; develop a Microchip Test Head Manipulator to insure repeatable docking between the 700-lb. test head and a Handler/Prober Apparatus. This new design allows a 120-lb. female to ergonometrically manipulate and dock a 700-lb. test head to its Handler or Prober with a repeatable accuracy of ± .005".

An extensive degree of ergonometric research, safety consideration, Engineering and Manufacturing specifications were formulated, then implemented through to production via the unique Development DNA™ approach. The resulting design is a proper balance between user requirements and technical requirements, expressed through advanced aesthetics and visual interest supported by intuitive ergonomics and cost-effective manufacturing.
