Automatic Module Testing Machine
Product Overview
The ZWD-LTM-52 Automatic Module Testing Machine is a high-performance, fully automated system designed for electrical performance testing of IC modules in tape format. Engineered for smart card manufacturers, module suppliers, and personalization centers, this machine provides rapid, reliable, and precise testing for contact, contactless, and dual-i
nterface (combine) modules.
With an advanced IPC (Industrial PC) and servo control system at its core, the ZWD-LTM-52 delivers exceptional throughput, consistent accuracy, and seamless integration into high-volume production lines. The system also features an integrated bad module marker station, ensuring that only quality modules proceed to downstream assembly processes.

Key Advantages
High Throughput – Up to 53,000 UPH for contact modules (32 heads) and 40,000 UPH for contactless/combine modules (24 heads) based on 0.5-second test time.
Universal Module Testing – Supports contact, contactless, and dual-interface (combine) module tapes on a single platform.
IPC + Servo Control – Industrial PC and servo system ensure precise, stable, and repeatable testing.
Automated Bad Module Marking – Defective modules are automatically identified and marked for downstream rejection.
Optional Vision System – Camera-based module counting for enhanced traceability and quality control.
Flexible Reader Options – Compatible with imported readers (Smartware, German) or domestic readers (64–128 heads).
Key Features
1. IPC and Servo Control System
The machine is powered by an industrial PC (IPC) working in concert with a high-precision servo system. This combination ensures synchronized control of all mechanical and testing functions, delivering consistent results even at maximum throughput.
2. Three Testing Modes in One Machine
| Module Type | Testing Capability | Throughput (0.5s test time) |
|---|---|---|
| Contact Modules | Electrical performance testing of physical contact pads | Up to 53,000 UPH (32 heads) |
| Contactless Modules | RF performance and functionality testing | Up to 40,000 UPH (24 heads) |
| Combine (Dual-Interface) Modules | Comprehensive testing of both contact and contactless interfaces | Up to 40,000 UPH (24 heads) |
3. Bad Module Marker Station
Modules that fail electrical testing are automatically marked by the integrated marker station. This visual indication allows downstream equipment or operators to easily identify and reject defective modules, preventing faulty components from being assembled into finished cards.
4. Optional Vision System (Camera)
For manufacturers requiring enhanced traceability and quality control, an optional vision system is available. The camera precisely counts modules on the tape, providing real-time production data and enabling accurate yield calculations.
5. Flexible Reader Configuration
The ZWD-LTM-52 supports a wide range of module readers to accommodate different testing protocols and regional standards:
Imported Readers – Smartware or German readers for high-precision, standards-compliant testing
Domestic Readers – Cost-effective options available in 64 or 128 head configurations
