RS-232 Ports

—Two serial ports are used to connect the 2500 with the PC

that is running TaskLink. A third port is available for running diagnostic

tests.

Features Under the

Hood

The hood covers the primary transportation and configuration features

on the 2500 as shown in Figure 1-5. These are described below in the

order in which they encounter a device traveling through the system.

Input Tube Holder

—The tube holder holds a tube of devices to be

processed by the handler. It accepts most standard IC tubes without any

adjustment.

Track Sections

—Three short sections of track provide the channel for

devices to travel through the system. Devices are assisted in their travel

down the track by the 18-degree slope of the track, orbital motors that

gently vibrate the devices, and output track air. The programming station

stop guide (see Figure 1-5) aligns the device so that the beam can pick it

up and place it in the programming module.

Track Width Adjustment Knob

—This knob allows the user to adjust the

width of all three sections of track simultaneously, allowing quick and

easy changeovers for different sized devices (see Figure 1-5).

Labeler

—The 2500 uses either a dot matrix printer or a thermal printer to

print labels that are applied to devices. The dot matrix assembly includes

the 24-wire dot matrix print head, label advance rollers, ribbon cassette,

and label stock. The thermal assembly includes the thermal print head,

label and ribbon advance rollers, ribbon stock, and label stock. Label text

entered in TaskLink is printed on the label, and the label is advanced for

application to the next device (see Figure 1-6). A hinged cover protects

operators from injury while the labeler is operating.

Label Application Area

—The portion of the labeler where a printed

label is applied to the device.

Track Height Adjustment

—A hex screw allows the operator to adjust

the height of the track section to match the height of the input and output

tubes (see Figure 1-7).

Optics

—These emitter-collector pairs detect passing devices as they

travel through the system. The 2500 uses the optics to keep track of

devices entering from the input, count devices passing into the output

tubes, detect device jams if they occur, and perform other operations. A

special optic pair on the labeler (called the ADC optic) is used to sense the

location of the labels on the roll.
