Overview
Smart Tweezers is an R-L-C meter in a set of tweezers. Smart Tweezers is
designed for production line component evaluation, on board impedance testing,
and SMD components sorting. With automatic recognition of measurement mode
(R, L and C) Smart Tweezers is ideal for identifying surface mounted devices

Smart Tweezers has a unique mechanical and electronic design that incorporates
a built-in direct precision SMD probe designed for component evaluation on the
production line, PCB debugging, component impedance testing and the sorting
SMD components.
The integrated SMD probe and measurement head, combined with automatic
recognition of measurement modes (R, C, and L) and the range of measurement,
allows the operator focus on the component under test. As a result testing, sorting
and evaluation of components becomes more efficient and cost effective.
