X-change cart
semi-automated DIB exchange system
The esmo Xx-change cart is a semi-automated Device Interface Board (DIB) exchange system designed for high-mix semiconductor test environments. It enables a single operator to complete a full load board changeover in under one minute, reducing changeover time, minimizing operator effort, and eliminating the risk of manual handling errors.
The modular design supports integration into existing multi-vendor ATE setups without reconfiguration and provides an upgrade path toward fully automated test floor operations via AGV or AMR mounting.
- Modular DIB exchange system for reliable, error-free board loading and unloading
- Single-operator operation – complete board change in under one minute
- Transports two load boards simultaneously for rapid exchange
- Full multi-axis rotation: ±180° at locking mechanism | ±180° Y-axis | ±90° Z-axis (tower swivel)
- Tower swivels ±90° for use in narrow corridors and constrained test floor layouts
- Compatible with leading ATE platforms – Teradyne, Advantest, SPEA and more
- Interfaces with test head, prober, DIB-loader, storage rack, and maintenance workbench
- ESD-safe gripper head construction – board protected at every point of contact
- Spring-loaded guide pins for exact cart-to-DIB positioning
- Secure automatic locking with mechanical interlock against accidental board release
- Pretensioned alignment feature compensates roll and pitch angle tolerances up to ±1.5°
- Integrated HMI, sensor detection, safety hand-brake, and modular battery
- Optional: fully automated configuration mountable on AGV or AMR
