Abstract

A vision alignment system for a test handler system includes a transfer mechanism that transfers a device from an input side to a test side, a contactor array positioned at the test side, and a pick-and-place device that moves the device from the transfer mechanism to the contactor array. An engagement mechanism on the pick-and-place device engages with alignment devices on the transfer mechanism and contactor array. To avoid positioning the vision alignment system in the test side, a first vision mechanism is positioned away from the test socket and determines the position of the device in a common local coordinate system, a second vision mechanism is positioned at an output side and determines a position of the contactor array in the local coordinate system, and the correction mechanism corrects a position of the device based on an offset between the positions in the coordinate system.
