Xandex offers three inker types for high speed inking applications. Series 600 inkers incorporate a high-speed solenoid for use with DM-1 cartridges. The pneumatic Series X1000 & X4000 use DM-2 cartridges to afford a wide range of dot sizes at any speed. The Motorized-Z inker enables motorized z height adjustment and incorporates small dot and large dot modes, which allow dot sizes from 6-50 mil. All inkers feature flip up manipulators and an X,Y adjustment joystick. The low profile X5100 installs in the optical bridge on the listed EG probers. Off-Line inkers are also suitable for Post-Probe inking.

The inverted Series 200 mounts underneath the probe ring. Post-Probe inkers also provide sufficient clearance for most Overhead Testing applications.

Xandex offers four inkers for post probe inking. All inkers are also suitable for some Overhead Testing & high-speed Off-Line Inking. Inker Model X1412 designed for the TSK APM 90 or UF200 series probers fits on the existing inker mount. Inker X5100 designed for the EG 40X0 series probers fits in the Optical Bridge. X5200 Series designed for the TEL P8 probers mounts on the Optical Bridge, or on the SACC Arm. All inkers allow dot range of 15-50 mil and utilize DM-2.3 cartridges.

Xandex offers electric and pneumatic inkers for cabled probing. Series 100 provides vertical positioning via slide bracket and adjustment knob. Coarse X, Y adjustment and quick inker removal is accomplished by loosening one knob that holds the inker to its mounting plate. The joystick in Series 300 provides fine X, Y adjustment. Series 600 is the only high speed electric inker. Use DM-1, or DM-1.25 cartridges. For 5 mil applications, use an H2 model holder (with plunger adjustment) instead of an H1. Series X1000 are pneumatic inkers, suitable for high-speed application and utilize DM-2 cartridges.

Many optical inspection applications require retrofit of an existing manipulator and do not use a complete Xandex assembly. DieMarker™ is a hand-held pneumatic inker, which may also be used for any application requiring manual inking (i.e. edge die, packaged devices). Use DM-2 cartridges for DieMarker™ and DM-1, DM-1.25, or DM-S for all other models.

Analytical probers have limited inker clearance due to high-powered microscope objectives and multiple probers. Most analytical probers require retrofit of an existing micromanipulator, and do not use a complete Xandex assembly (see also Retrofits). Use DM-1 or DM-1.25 cartridges.

Laser trimming applications require the inker to rest at a very shallow angle under the microscope lens and the lasers. For sufficient clearance, inkers may have a "side arm" style holder mounting rather than the typical slide bracket. Use DM-1, DM-1.25, or DM-S cartridges.

Cartridge holders are available to retrofit most other manufacturers’ inkers. To order, specify body style, coil voltage, connector type, and plunger size. Use DM-1 or DM-1.25 cartridges. Retrofit all H-style holders with a Plunger Stop Assembly for 5 mil dot applications.
