  • System and method for linked slot-level burn-in
    Patent number: 7339387
    Abstract: A burn-in system links a Burn-In Board (BIB) Loader/Unloader (BLU) to a burn-in chamber rack using a BIB transfer module. The BIB transfer module is capable of transferring a BIB between the BLU and the burn-in chamber rack by moving the BIB in at least two perpendicular directions while minimizing the physical footprint required by the BIB transfer module. The system supports slot level burn-in of components as opposed to batch level burn-in because the burn-in chamber rack may begin the burn-in process as soon as a BIB is delivered to an individual chamber slot in the burn-in chamber rack. The BIB transfer module may easily be detached and separated from the BLU and the burn-in chamber rack without affecting the continuing operation of the BLU and the burn-in chamber rack.
