pick position ~
The physical positions where the pick-and-place head picks up devices such as
at the input media and at sockets.
PLC Controller ~
Taping Module toggle switches
PNP ~
Pick and Place. Also referred to as P&P.
PNP Head ~
The Pick and Place Head controlled by the Gantry for moving devices between
sockets and media.
PNP Taping Head ~
The pick and place head on the Tape Output Module.
pocket tape ~
The pocketed film that carries the devices. This term usually implies that the
cover tape has been removed. Also called device pocket tape.
Power Panel ~
Panel on the back of the PS Machine where AC power and air are connected.
probe ~
A tube attached to the pick and place head that picks up, carries, and releases
devices. Usually a probe has a rubber tip on the end that allows it to create a
good vacuum seal on the device.
Programmer
A FlashCORE or Universal assembly that accepts Socket Adapters and programs
the devices.
programming ~
The process of electronically writing data into a device. (Burning is another term
used to describe this operation.) “Input devices” are usually blank or un-pro-
grammed; “output devices” are usually programmed devices.
programming mod-
