Used HUGHES / PALOMAR 3880 #9357657 for sale

HUGHES / PALOMAR 3880 is a fully automated, multi-purpose production bonder. It is designed for high-volume manufacturers in the printed circuit board, or PCB, industry. HUGHES 3880 features an automatic wafer indexing equipment, a patented wafer-handling mechanism, and a quick-load carousel system, all of which combine to significantly reduce process time and increase yield. PALOMAR 3880 has several Design for Manufacturing features that contribute to its overall efficiency. The Automatic Wafer Indexing Unit (AWIS) allows the bonder to load continuous wafers in two ways: by sending them through a conveyor belt for manual indexing or by loading them onto a carousel machine. The AWIS uses lasers to accurately separate and index wafers, eliminating any need for human intervention. This helps to reduce downtime and to ensure repeatable results. Additionally, the patented wafer-handling mechanism of 3880 provides improved throughput and superior accuracy. The unit automatically detects the wafer and applies up to 4 bonding heads to a single wafer. This helps to reduce wafer handling time and ensures that kinetic shaping is maintained to a predictable level. Furthermore, an integrated vision tool provides feedback that can be used to quickly and accurately adjust process parameters for each wafer. Finally, HUGHES / PALOMAR 3880 also boasts a Quick-Load Carousel Asset. This model helps reduce setup times and is fully automated. It can load up to eight wafers and 10 substrates, at which point it automatically switches between wafer and substrates. This allows for higher throughput and quicker turnaround times. In short, HUGHES 3880 is designed to provide manufacturers with a high-performance, cost-effective solution that increases productivity and maximizes yield. Thanks to its automated wafer indexing equipment, patented wafer-handling mechanism, and quick-load carousel system, PALOMAR 3880 provides a comprehensive solution for PCB production.
