Abstract

A positioner facilitates docking and undocking of an electronic test head with a device handler. The positioner provides for rotation of the test head about a first axis. The positioner includes a support structure for moving the test head along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. The support structure accurately docks the electronic test head with the device handler.
