At Semicon West 2002, DB Design announced the Mobile Manipulator™, its first entry into the market for test floor manipulators. Focusing specifically on supporting the new, small and lightweight test heads that have recently been introduced, the Mobile Manipulator breaks the traditionally rigid test floor paradigm: now, handlers and probers don't have to be moved to the testers - the testers can move wherever they're needed.

• Convenient mobility ensures efficient use of test room resources.
• Versatile design allows for multiple configurations with automated handlers and probers.
• Supports test heads up to 20 inches square and up to 100 lbs.
• All motions can be independently set and actuated for controlled, precise test head positioning.
• Low maintenance due to lack of counterbalances and pulleys.
