In an industry first, and major innovation to emulating the Chip Shooter lines prevalent in the Surface Mount Technology ( SMT ) industry, NATEL has developed and installed a STEALTH-LINE for Chip and Wire Assemblies. The line incorporates epoxy dispense/stamping, die placement equipment with eutectic die attach capability, automatic wire bonders, ribbon bonders and cure ovens in a contiguous line, which operates hands free.
The line is programmed for all the die attach, wire bonding and oven cure processes required and runs automatically once the components and substrates are loaded. This hands-free assembler can handle complex assemblies and is particularly suited to high and medium volume output requirements. Output rates are naturally dependent on the complexity of the assembly involved. One of the key benefits is repeatability and the absence of rework equipment as the line eliminates workmanship errors.
To see the line in -operation and explore its potential for your microelectronic assembly requirements, contact Jim Angeloni at 818-734-6553 or by email at jima@natelems.com.
