The all new FLX500 from Data I/O is more than a new automated programming solution. It is a new architecture – a groundbreaking automated programming platform designed to bring the quality benefits of automation to the desktop programming environment.

As the shift to smaller fine-pitch packaging continues to grow, so do scrap costs, time delays and rework costs associated with manual gang programming. The FLX500 offers a solution that eliminates human errors and waste inherent in manual programming operations such as bent or damaged leads, ESD damage, dropped parts, mixed bad/blank parts with good parts, or incorrect data file selection.

Operating the FLX500 is an experience in simplicity. In fact, the self-installing system is so simple and easy to use that an existing manual programming operator can be productive immediately. For customers with small lot sizes and high mix applications, the FLX500 offers the industry’s fastest changeover times. FLX500 technology offers the first ‘plug and program’ automated programming solution available. The color touch screen graphical user interface is language-independent, eliminating operator training and typical operator mistakes. The system requires no special installation and can be plugged into a standard wall outlet. With its self-contained air supply, there is no need for external air. FLX500 transfers the burden of tray mapping from the operator to the machine and is capable of automatically learning hundreds of types of different device media trays. Developed from the ground up, FLX500 features innovations that are causing a stir in the industry and accelerating our customers’ success. The FLX500 is the result of extensive forward thinking and development work. Thanks to its broad flexibility and modularity, the FLX500 is the ideal solution for a wide variety of programming applications.
