Side approach mechanism
Side approach mechanisms (SAM) are used for the reliable contacting of electronic components onto the electronic units to be tested, for which a lateral contact stroke in the form of a horizontally directed stroke movement is required. The contact stroke can be generated in three different ways: stroke controlled (SAM-H), manually (SAM-M) or pneumatically (SAM-P).
