MicroCraft Adds 8 Probe System with Full Automation
December 31, 2018 | MicroCraftEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
MicroCraft has released its first 8-probe system with full automation, the E8M6151AL, as the latest addition in their EMMA series.
One of the key features of the E8M6151AL model is that the tester can operate for 24 hours unattended with its newly developed auto loader/unloader. Once the boards are stacked onto the loader, suction pads automatically transfer the boards onto a conveyer to the test area. Once the test is complete, boards are speedily transferred to the unloader and are automatically sorted into PASS and FAIL boards.
The E8M6151AL offers a maximum test area of 24 x 20” (610 x 510mm). With the auto loader/unloader, boards of different sizes may be stacked at the same time. An optional ‘stamp unit’ can also be incorporated to provide visual identification for quality control.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
06/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Today is Friday the 13th, and in much of Western folklore, this is a day when bad luck is lurking. But while Friday the 13th may top Western superstition charts, the global calendar is sprinkled with its own unlucky legends. In Spain and Greece, the bad juju lands on Tuesday the 13th—a day linked to Mars, the god of war, and naturally, chaos. In Italy, it’s Friday the 17th that is feared, thanks to the Roman numeral XVII, which can be rearranged to spell VIXI—Latin for “I have lived” (a poetic way of saying you’re dead).
