Automatic IC Programmer Tape and Reel Tray Integrated Chip Programming Machine with CCD Vision System 2000 UPH 8 Stations for SMT Production

KA1800 – Tray and Tape Integrated IC Programming Machine

The KA1800 is an automatic IC programming machine designed to work with offline programmers, offering a flexible and cost-effective solution for companies that already own standard offline programmers but need to automate their IC programming process.

This model features 8 programming stations, dual vacuum nozzles (pick and place), CCD visual positioning system, and supports a wide range of IC packages including QFP, QFN, SOP, and BGA. With a maximum output of 1800-2000 UPH, it significantly improves programming efficiency while reducing manual labor.

The KA1800 supports both tray and tape incoming/outgoing packaging:

• Tape in / Tape out

• Tape in / Tray out

• Tray in / Tape out

• Tray in / Tray out

Key differentiator: Unlike fully integrated systems, the KA1800 is designed as an external automation machine that connects to your existing offline programmers. This allows you to leverage your current programming investment while gaining full automation.

Key Features (Selling Points)

Technical Specifications

Target Customers (Who is it for?)

Customer Type	Why They Need KA1800
EMS Companies (Electronics Manufacturing Services)	High-mix production with mixed tape and tray input – 4-in-1 operation modes (tape/tray in/out) support quick changeover without multiple machines
IC Solution Providers	Receive chips in both tape and tray formats – need a single machine to handle all packaging combinations efficiently
SMT Assembly Lines	Require tape output for pick-and-place machines, but chips may come in trays – KA1800 converts tray to tape automatically
Automotive Electronics Suppliers	±0.03mm precision + optional CCD vision meets strict quality requirements for QFP/BGA packages
Programming Service Centers	Serve multiple customers with different packaging needs – one machine handles tape and tray interchangeably
IC Distributors (Value-Added Programming)	Need to offer flexible programming services – KA1800 adapts to whatever packaging customers request
R&D Labs / Small Batch Production	Flexible 4-in-1 modes adapt to any incoming/outgoing packaging requirement without buying multiple machines
