Rosenheim, Germany, December 2007: Multitest was able to continue the success story of the MT9928 gravity handler in 2007. In Q4 the overall installed base of the base handler exceeded 600 and the 1000th conversion kit for the platform has been shipped.
Says Bernhard Lorenz, business unit manager “Gravity” at Multitest: “The MT9928 provides the widest flexibility in terms of packages handled as well as regarding the variety of loading and unloading co
nfigurations. Therefore the handler can exactly be adapted to the current production needs. Combining this with the high speed and superior contacting the MT9928 is the perfect solution for gravity feed handling of high volumes. The MT9928 really deserves the term ‘platform’ by securing the capital investment of our customers. Our installed base of 600 machines represents a market share of about 75 % for octal contact site gravity handlers. Based on the continuous feedback from the test floor, we can state that we have achieved a highly reliable and very mature production machine with the MT9928.”
