The Thermo Scientific™ Orion3™ is designed to test for potentially destructive effects of ESD, enabling the identification and hardening of sensitive structures prior to full-scale production.  Given the extremely high cost of IC production, as well as customer demands for precisely timed component delivery schedules, the Orion3 can save substantial costs in terms of time, material and lost opportunity (time to market).  The high resolution dual cameras permit easy and rapid discharge pin alignment during the test setup routine. Both the x and y axis are displayed simultaneously. The cameras may be left on during the test to monitor the pin alignment. Vacuum hold-down enables device testing regardless of device types and sizes.
