Xeltek SuperBOT 5e Automated IC Programmer

The SuperBOT 5 automatic programming systems are equipped with 4-8 SuperPro® 7500N high-speed universal programmers. Depending on the unit being programmed, each SuperPro® 7500N can have up to 4 socket adapters, for a total of up to 32 socket adapters in the system. Most programmers on the market use technology that is up to 10 years old. The SuperPro 7500 programmers use a very fast MCU chip that not only produces reliable programming algorithms, but also increases programming speed. The use of the ARM11 32-bit MCU combined with an internal Linux operating system makes them the most advanced and versatile programmers in the industry.

Most volume programming applications require remote control of the programmers. This can be achieved by using the SuperBOT programmers' LAN port. Programmers can be connected to a local network and controlled remotely from any computer on the network via the LAN port (100 M). The LAN port allows for remote project loading, quality monitoring, volume control and file security. The technical department can remotely control programming operations and processes, including project file downloading, command execution and project settings, and retrieve real-time information to achieve production goals. Remote network management provides the greatest protection for intellectual property. Project data and files are never shared with operators, as files are loaded remotely by authorised engineers.

Most companies produce 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and program millions of devices per year. Xeltek's automated programmers have been refined to run uninterrupted and withstand harsh environments.

Based in Silicon Valley, Xeltek maintains strong relationships with many major IC companies, which are important to continually support new devices. Xeltek currently supports more than 100,000 devices, providing the largest device library in the programming industry. New chips can be added within a week.

SuperBot automated programmers are the lowest cost, highest quality systems in the industry. High volumes and extensive production experience enable programmers to be among the most competitive in the programming industry in terms of quality, price and value.

User-friendly software with a graphical interface reduces the learning curve. Setup data can be saved for the next operation. The software also includes a meaningful log table, convenient production and quality tracking, authorisation and a flexible stop strategy for faulty sockets or modules.

Chip size devices between 2 x 2 mm and 30 x 30 mm can be programmed. SuperBOT systems support, among others, the SOT23 package, which measures only 2 x 3 mm.

Input/output modules and socket adapters are easily interchangeable. Socket adapter positioning can be done automatically. Auto-tray and tape-out can be permanently attached to the SuperBot, eliminating changeover time when switching from tape-out to auto-tray. The changeover time of the tape-out is less than 10 minutes and the changeover time of the laser marker between tray and tape is less than 15 minutes.

Cost savings in a short time with low initial investment as socket adapters are universal for up to 144-pin chips. With most competitor programmers, the user has to invest in device-specific socket adapters for chips with more than 48 pins, resulting in higher costs in the long run.
