POWAY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 12, 2016--
Cohu, Inc. (NASDAQ:COHU), a leading supplier of semiconductor test and
inspection handlers, announced today the introduction of its next
generation 32-position turret platform for test and inspection of high
performance mixed signal, high frequency and sensor devices.
The new NY32 provides up to 5 times higher device handling accuracy
compared to its predecessor that is particularly important for test and
inspection of thin, fragile small packages. It integrates innovative
hardware and software technologies such as Field Bus on Module that
enables improved autonomous operation and stability, and the new Falcon
self-tuning solution that delivers improved yield.
“We are excited to make the new NY32 platform available to our
customers, and to enable the next generation of thin and fragile package
processing solutions in the industry,” said Ian von Fellenberg, VP and
General Manager of Cohu’s Ismeca business unit.
This platform is well suited for RF devices, small power management ICs,
solid state lighting devices and many other ICs. These devices are
commonly used in mobile products, “Internet of Things” applications and
increasingly in automotive infotainment systems.
“We completed successful qualifications of this new platform at large
European and Japanese-based customers resulting in multi-unit orders
received in the first quarter. The initial handlers were shipped in Q1
and we received customer acceptance in our fiscal Q2,” said Luis Müller,
President and CEO of Cohu.
Forward Looking Statements:
Certain matters discussed in this release, including statements
concerning Cohu's NY32 product are forward-looking statements that are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected or forecasted. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our ability to convert
new products under development into production on a timely basis,
support product development and meet customer delivery and acceptance
requirements for next generation equipment, failure to obtain customer
acceptance resulting in the inability to recognize revenue and accounts
receivable collection problems, our reliance on patents and intellectual
property, compliance with U.S. export regulations, and the cyclical and
unpredictable nature of capital expenditures by semiconductor
manufacturers. These and other risks and uncertainties are discussed
more fully in Cohu's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including the most recently filed Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.
Cohu assumes no obligation to update the information in this release.
