MACROACE PRO

Substrate holder: Dome ø620 mm, Planetary 3x ø250 mm. Automatic Optical Monitoring. 2xE-gun, Resistance evap., End hall assist, RF Plasma Assist Source.

MACROACE PRO

The MicroAce Pro is a newly developed 6” semi-automatic dicing saw, equipped with a 2.2kW spindle as standard, while other spindle configurations are also available to suit a variety of applications including thick substrate cutting. The MicroAce Pro is suitable for a wide range of applications, not limited to silicon wafer dicing. It offers a high level of configurability to ensure optimal performance for your specific application.

 

This machine has a very small footprint. It features an auto-alignment function, auto kerf check function, self-adjustment function, and fragment shape recognition function. 

 

The performance of the MicroAce Pro is underpinned by a new Loadpoint NanoControl control system, which is equipped with a user-friendly 17" LCD touch screen and operated through an intuitive new user interface.

STANDARD PACKAGE

Loadpoint Air Bearing Spindle

  • Very low vibration improves the cut quality and reduces chipping
  • DC brushless drive, 1.8 kW 60,000 rev per min
  • High power option 2.2 kW 60,000 rev per min

Vision and alignment system

Manual and automatic alignment modes:

  • Monocular video alignment system with pattern recognition
  • Pattern Recognition System (PRS)
  • Automatic alignment as standard
  • Automatic cutting & kerf check as standard
  • Full 17” touch screen monitor for alignment, data entry and machine monitoring
  • Continuous live display of X,Y,Z and theta co-ordinates
  • Z autofocus set up of alignment image with offset option

TOOLING

  • Standard wheel carrier with 50 diameter blade capacity
  • Three direction coolant delivery; main blade coolant jet, blade side wash bars and wafer flood jets
  • Accelerometer based Z datum set, off-chuck height sensing system

Z height sensing

Off-chuck height sensing system ensures constant depth of cut without having to use conductive blades, providing a wider choice of blade diameters and suppliers.

WORK HOLDING

Standard packages include adaptable plain wafer vacuum chuck for use with wax and substrate mounting and tape rings. Loadpoint manufacture chucks for all tape rings and film frames, mechanical vices, and designs to customer requirements, including precision-ground ceramic inserts for improved vacuum and component support.

MATERIALS PROCESSED

Ceramic, FR3/FR4, GaAs, Germanium, Glass, InP, LED’s, Lithium Niobate and Tantalate, QFN, Piezo electrics, PZT, Quartz, Sapphire and Silicon amongst others.
