In some embodiments, pick and place tools can pick and place multiple dies with different die sizes from different source wafers at a time to increase the throughput. In addition, some of these tools may incorporate non-contact die handling during pick and place processes. In some examples, the non-contact mechanisms can use Bernoulli effects or acoustic wave or vibration techniques to hold and release dies.

A system includes a food product slicer that includes: a base; a knife mounted for rotation about an axis relative to the base via a knife drive shaft; the knife drive shaft includes an end portion that overlaps an externally facing surface portion of the knife to hold the knife, and a biasing mechanism pressing the knife toward an underside of the end portion. A knife removal tool is configured for engaging with the knife drive shaft and the knife so as to remove the knife from the knife drive shaft. The knife removal tool is configured to: enable removal of the knife from the knife drive shaft (i) irrespective of a rotational position of the knife removal tool relative to any fixed portion of the food product slicer; and/or (ii) irrespective of a rotational position of the knife relative to any fixed portion of the food product slicer.

The present invention relates to the configuration of a material testing apparatus.. A control system is provided comprising one or more processors; and a memory storing computer executable instructions therein. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to provide a user interface for configuration of the material testing apparatus at a user interface device associated with the material testing apparatus. The user interface comprises a hardware input field comprising a plurality of selectable hardware fixtures for the material testing apparatus; and one or more configuration input fields each indicative of a configuration parameter for the material testing apparatus. The control system determines, in dependence on a hardware input provided to the hardware input field, a selected hardware fixture of the plurality of selectable hardware fixtures; controls the user interface to restrict an available input for at least one of the configuration input fields in dependence on the selected hardware fixture; determines, in dependence on a configuration input provided to the one or more configuration input fields, a selected configuration parameter for each of the one or more configuration input fields; and outputs a control signal to configure the material testing apparatus according to each selected configuration parameter.

A container inspection head includes a housing defining an inspection zone, a container detection system, a first sensor, and a second sensor. The first sensor may be disposed opposite the second sensor across the inspection zone. A container inspection system includes the container inspection head and a control circuit. The control circuit determines that the container has entered the inspection zone, receives first sensor data from the first sensor and second container sensor data from the second sensor while the container traverses the inspection zone. The control circuit characterizes a feature of the container based on the first and second sensor data and determine a leakage measure of the container based on the characterized feature. A method of inspecting a container may further include rejecting the container when the container leakage measure is outside a predetermined leakage measure range.
