3700E - Automatic, Gantry, Large Area Ball Bonder

UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE in ultrasonic, thermosonic and thermocompression fine wire, ribbon, and ball bonding. Unique design features qualify the 3700E Series for the most demanding microwave, semiconductor, R.F., and hybrid production where precision and repeatability are critical. With compact dimensions (14"h x 30"w x 28"d), rugged construction, a reputation for dependability and ease of maintenance, the West·Bond 3700E Series is the most versatile automatic ball bonder available today. The mechanism of this series was designed to mount above a customer's work handling system, to be confined entirely above the work plane, and so not to require any base or work platform: Custom mounting brackets can be designed to join to customer’s mechanism.

PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE is implemented by finishing exposed tool assemblies and other moving parts by Electro less Nickel plating, which is conductive; and all exposed painted parts with a powder-coated paint that is dissipative. EASE OF PROGRAMMING through familiar Microsoft Windows software interfaced with the built-in Matrox Pattern Recognition System. Position and elevation coordinates are targeted by visual reference to the high-resolution 15" color flat panel LCD monitor operating with a vertically oriented auto focus camera for target alignment.

Machine Configuration Microscope: Olympus SZ51-60E; 12 – 60X magnification (included) Illumination: "Luxuray" #10265 (included) Bond Tool: (1) 1 mil, 45 degree wedge & (1) 1 mil, 90 degree wedge tool (included) Work Holder: Workholders are not included, and are priced separately. A large number of previously designed special work holders are available. Those with Status of Current can be selected for delivery in the same time span as the machine, while those of Status Available Not Stocked must be ordered separately. Workholders for new work pieces requiring custom design and fabrication will be quoted upon receipt of drawings and samples: These must be ordered on separate purchase orders. Temperature Controller: West•Bond K~1200D series (recommended; not included) Services Required Compressed Air: 50 psi; dry air Regulating valve & pressure gauge provided. Connection is via 1/4-inch tubing. Vacuum: 22 in/Hg min. (if needed for vacuum clamping workholder) Electrical: 50-60 Hz, single-phase, either 115 VAC or 230 VAC [input must be configured at the factory for 230 VAC]. A fuse and three-prong power cord connector is provided for 115 VAC; for 230 VAC, these must be changed to conform to local requirements.
