Optional Processes - Active Alignment Assembly Platform 

 

Optional processes

Description

Robot handling

Robotic handing of parts for loading & unloading

Removes operator variability from loading / unloading process

Controlled, smooth motion of UV cured parts before going through thermal curing (if applicable)

Depending on application: SCARA or 6-axis robot

Optional: Quick-exchange grippers for different product types

(JEDEC) tray loading

Single tray or magazine of trays for input/output of parts

Automatic scanning of tray IDs for traceability

Capable of custom trays or JEDEC format trays

Conveyor loading

Continuous transport of parts into & out of machine for highly automated cleanroom facilities

Automatic scanning of conveyor trays / carriers for traceability

SMEMA handshaking or PLC communication for upstream/downstream line flow control

Atmospheric plasma treatment

Surface cleaning and activation for downstream adhesive processes

Process and cooling using CDA

Optional: combine CO2 & plasma in 1 step

CO2 cleaning

Versatile and powerful surface cleaning

Leaves no residues, does not need drying

Capable of removing adhesive residues from peel-off tapes

Optional: combine CO2 & plasma in 1 step

N2 / CDA cleaning

N2/CDA blow-off for large particle removal

Optional: ionized nozzle

Chip test

Functional testing of sensor chip:

Communication test (start-up, read, write, image read-out)

Hot/cold/stuck pixels

Defective clusters

Contamination (larger than single pixel)

OETF

Dark signal testing

Optional: color response testing

MTF / through-focus scan measurement

Capable of determining focal point & alignment parameters (6DOF) of assembled camera unit

Provide immediate process feedback

Can be used in development and prototyping phases to verify processes (effects of curing, thermal cycling, vibration testing…)

Integrated clean room system ISO5

Integrating a clean air system into the machine with internal air recirculation makes the machine’s internal air quality independent from the outside environment’s air quality.
This feature, combined with integrated CO2/N2/CDA cleaning allows the machine to be placed outside of a cleanroom or in a less strict cleanroom environment, decreasing CAPEX and OPEX for the critical assembly process.
