PARTS LISTS

Overview

Following the descriptive guide below, is a Component Parts List for the Model 3000B Handler. This Guide
shows how to use the parts list to determine the exact part number of any custom part in your machine in
order to replace it if necessary.
The Parts List contains those items which EXATRON has custom m anufactured. They include machined
parts, sheet metal, printed circuit boards, cables, and standard vendor parts which have been modified by
EXATRON. A limited number of standard vendor parts are also listed here.
The title shown at the top of the list indicates the type of parts list. This should match your system's
hardware. The parts list may change as EXATRON improves each model with each new generation. If you
have different generations of the same model, the parts list will vary. Whenever possible, EXATRO N
makes design improvements capable of being retrofitted to older versions of the same m odel. The date
on the parts list indicates the date of the last revision of the list, not necessarily the last revision of the
system hardware.
Most systems will have two parts lists. One list is for the "base" system. This is the main section of the
system and includes the power supply and the main electronics card cage. The second list is for the
Changeover Kit. This kit assembles to the base to create a complete Handler. The changeover kit is
basically the custom tracks, test site, lead-ins and tube holders which are unique in design to the specific
device to be handled. Since it is quite possible to have several changeover kits for one base system, you
will need a parts list for each changeover kit.
Parts List Guide - Descriptive Column Categories
1. "PART NUMBER"
This is the number assigned by EXATRON to a specific part.
The first four digits indicate the model number of the system for which the part was originally
designed. We use parts from different models to lower inventory costs and to speed the
design of "custom" handlers.
The next three digits are simply the numerical count of the part as it was designed. These
are the three numbers which are stamped or laser marked onto most machined parts. The
revision letter of the part is listed next. This letter should be included when ordering
replacement parts. EXATRON occasionally uses additional letters or numbers to indicate
special features. We use R and L to specify right and left hand parts. AM or HR will indicate
parts for Ambient Machines or Hot Rails. We use 62 or 75 to indicate specific sizes of
solenoid plungers. There are other special notations which may be used as part of our
numbering system and which may change with time. Please contact the EXATRON factory for
assistance with any questions regarding special letters or numbers attached to part numbers.
2. SECOND FIELD (This column title usually hidden to save space on printout.)
This indicates the quantity of the specific part used in the manufacture of this system. This
information may be helpful in determining the correct part number and is used to build an
assembly kit when your system was originally built.
