Mühlbauer DS Albatross test handler

The Mühlbauer DS Albatross is a flagship model positioned for sorting large-size chips and complex multi-cartridge systems. It doesn't prioritize extreme speed, but rather serves as a versatile machine designed to handle complex tasks such as processing oversized 45 x 45 mm chips and supporting simultaneous output from up to 6 reels + 4 JEDEC trays. The name Albatross also hints at its long range, high efficiency, and spacious design.
