Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
What it is
How it works
The NT 16 uses a high-speed 16-position turret driven by a turret motor with part number RTMA 0140-050-AQN. Devices are loaded onto the turret via feeding systems including a bowl feeder or stacked magazines for leadframes and plastic tubes. All operations on the turret are carried out simultaneously on multiple positions, enabling high productivity.[1][2][3]
Where it fits in the process flow
The NT 16 outputs devices into tape, plastic tube, multitrack, or tray after processing.[3]
Applications
The Ismeca NT 16 is designed for use as a test handler, a scanning machine, or a complete finishing system. Applications include medical and pharmaceutical devices.[3]
