Designed by EIIT – A Controlar company to cover a great number of test points and a wide range of PCBA dimensions, our XILS – eXtended In-line Handling Systems are composed of versatile handlers adapted to different electronic test technologies for PCB assembly and test applications.

These fully automated multistation systems are highly configurable and prepared for future expansion. With a modular concept design, they can be assembled in a serial layout with different multiuse handlers, granting a small footprint.

With fast handling speed, our XILS handlers are designed to meet specific requirements for a high number of test points and can accommodate a wide range of PCB dimensions (from individual PCB boards to complete assembled devices).

The line setup is configurable by software and customized during product setup, ensuring quick, straightforward setup process, simplifying product changeovers.

• Compact footprint: handlers can be connected in a serial line, enabling an in-line system configuration with other handlers.
• Built-in communication system: the systems can communicate with one another internally, eliminating the need for additional link-conveyors, bar-code readers, and buffering stations.
• Configurable line setup: easily configurable via software and customized on a case-by-case basis during product setup.
• Special Instrumentation subrack with secondary interface for fixture, featuring short wiring distance between the instrumentation and the DUT (Device Under Test).
• Lateral actuation for DUT connectors, such as USB and Ethernet: ensures precise insertion force control, enhancing reliability and performance.

XILS600 Handler (ideal for critical instruments)

• Versatile and multipurpose handler developed for ICT (In-Circuit), ISP (Flashing) and FCT (Functional) applications and specially beneficial for critical instruments.
• Secondary conveyor at SMEMA level for pass-through function, eliminating the need for parallel lines on the shop floor required to meet cycle-time demands.
• Handling time of approx. 6 sec. (machine cycle time excluding test).
• Possibility of connection to the XILS800 or to other XILS600 handlers in a serial line.

XILS800 Handler (versatile solution for high demand applications)

• General-purpose handler designed to meet specific requirements for a high number of test points and large panels for ICT (In-Circuit), ISP (Flashing) and FCT (Functional) applications.
• Handling time of approx. 7 sec. (machine cycle time excluding test).
• Possibility to connect to the XILS600 and XILS1200 handlers in a serial line.
• Supports manufacturers, such as Teradyne, Keysight, Checksum, TRI, and others.

XILS1200 Handler (best suited for extra-large PCBs testing)

• A larger handler specially engineered for testing extra-large PCBs in ICT (In-Circuit), ISP (Flashing) and FCT (Functional) applications.
• Handling time of approx. 8.5 sec. (machine cycle time excluding test).
• Possibility to connect to the XILS800 and XILS600 handlers in a serial line.

Controlar and EIIT’s in-line handling solutions were developed to meet the high standards of the automotive industry to test a wide range of PCBs and PCBAs. These systems are also suitable for other industries, such as consumer and industrial electronics.
