Rudolph's Next-Generation PrecisionWoRx VX4 Extends the Capabilities of Probe Card Test and Analysis Tool
(Product News, 16 Jul 2008)
Rudolph Technologies Inc. has launched PrecisionWoRx VX4, the next generation of its probe card test and analysis tools, which will replace the PrecisionPoint VX3, add configurable channels, higher loading forces, a user interface and software architecture consistent with other WoRx family tools, and a current generation operating system (Windows XP or Vista).
The VX4's configurable channels, which may be programmed for I/O and utility functions, add flexibility and convenience. Higher load forces, up to 150kg, will accommodate newer probe cards with high pin counts. The new user interface, as suggested by the slightly modified PrecisionWoRX moniker, is consistent with other Rudolph products in the WoRx family (ProbeWoRx and WaferWoRx), simplifying inter-operability and data exchange. Provision of a current generation Windows XP or Vista operating system running on a multicore processor improves the tool's speed, reliability and security.
