Universal Automatic Bonder & Tester F&S Bondtec 5600Ci

Main features

Flexible All-in-One conversion system: Save investment costs by allowing quick transformation between automatic wire welding machines and tensile/shear testing machines on the same mechanical platform.

Universal test tower: Optimize measurement performance thanks to the ability to quickly integrate and swap pull measurement boxes from 100–5000 cN and shear from 500–5000 cN.

Fast testing speed: Increase operational productivity with an automatic measurement cycle taking only 2 to 3 seconds per wire.

Sub-micron level accuracy: Ensure measurement data has absolute reliability with extremely low error of 0.1% across the entire measurement range thanks to a finely programmed moving axis of 1 µm.

GigE-CMOS camera system with image recognition: Fully automate the process of finding coordinates and repeating measurements on hybrid or COB circuits without manual intervention.

In-depth SPC standard data analysis: Support strict quality management through automatic plotting of force/time curves and calculating statistical indices Cp, Cpk based on SQL database.

Equipment belonging to the universal machine system (Universal automatic Bonder & Tester): compatible with wire welding heads of the 56i series such as: 10i, 30i, 32i, 50i, and 50iHR.

Detailed description

5600Ci operates on a computer (PC) platform running Windows OS, controlling a sample moving table to perform automated batch testing of welds according to a pre-programmed schedule. The device integrates test measurement boxes with quick exchange capabilities to accommodate various force ranges. All data and calibration graphs of these measurement boxes are stored directly inside.

In terms of kinematics, the machine features a programmable control axis system with an X/Y working area of 100 × 100 mm and a motion step resolution of 1 µm. The Z axis has a programmable motion stroke of 60 mm.

The device performs pull tests or shear tests with an accuracy of 0.1% across the entire measurement range. The machine's processing cycle achieves speeds of 2 to 3 seconds for each wire. The advanced data collection process allows the system to directly construct force/time curves to provide detailed specifications about the quality of the weld.

Operational challenges and Solutions

In the production of high-power semiconductor components or hybrid circuits, manual testing often encounters difficulties with repeatability and human error control. The 5600Ci addresses this issue with an automation mechanism for repeatable measurements on hybrid circuits or chip-on-board (COB) through the programmed motion of the sample table. After the initial programming, a pull or shear testing process with precise repeatability is ensured for all subsequent components.

Another issue is handling large volumes of test data for quality management. The system addresses this by integrating management on a SQL database platform. The software automatically calculates statistical parameters including: mean value (Mean Value), standard deviation (Standard Deviation), trend (Trend), and process capability index Cp and Cpk. For tests complying with international standards, the machine automatically calculates the actual pull force at the solder points. The measurement results are analyzed and output immediately or exported to various database formats.

Integration and Expansion Capability

The 5600Ci system is designed as a universal automatic bonder and tester (Universal Automatic Bonder & Tester). Therefore, in addition to functioning as a force tester, the device is fully compatible and can be integrated with wire bond heads (Bondheads) from the 56i series, including the models: 10i, 30i, 32i, 50i and 50iHR.

For the testing function, the extended test head configuration includes:

Pullheads: force range from 100 cN to 5000 cN.

Shearheads: force range from 500 cN to 5000 cN.

Custom measurement heads for shear, peel, and tweezer testing use specific tools and clamps as required by the customer.

The hardware and software system supports the optional pattern recognition feature through a high-quality GigE-CMOS color camera displayed on a 22" color LCD screen.

Regarding sample holding capability, the machine is compatible with workholders supporting component sizes up to 4 × 4", including: a standard holder integrating both mechanical clamps and vacuum suction, an optional jaw-type holder, a TO pin component holder with mechanical clamps, and a rubber-coated surface holder combining mechanical clamps.

The system connects infrastructure through Ethernet ports, USB 2.0/3.0 ports, supports computer network compatibility for storing and managing program documents, along with a standard Ø 6 mm vacuum connection pipe.
