This chapter covers PS Machine description and components,
software, safety and room considerations.
The PS288, PS388 and PS588 Automated Programming Sys-
tems (PS System) are versatile production programmers that
handle and program devices in traditional and fine-pitched
packages. These include
BGA, FPGA, µBGA, QFP, TQFP, CSP,
TSOP, SSOP, SON, WSON, S OIC, and other tech-
nologies supporting memory and microcontroller devices.
Note: This manual applies to the PS288, PS388 and the PS588,
unless otherwise noted, and will be referred to as the PS System or
PS Machine.
The PS System refers to the machine, accessories, the software and,
more generally, the interactions of all these parts. The PS Machine is
used to mean the physical machine, not the software. For example,
you might connect an air supply hose to the PS Machine, but adjust
the actuation air pressure of the PS System.
The modular design of the PS Machine creates flexibility, allowing
you to optimize to the level of production required by your facility.
