AssemblyLine systems, which are high-precision, alignment and assembly machine solutions, are developed for automated manufacture (align-and-attach) of photonic devices.
They exclusively integrate flexible attachment configurations and fast-active alignment with a tried and tested software control interface, encompassed in an industry-standard design. Optional modules offer additional features, and the high-end models offer wafer processing capability, optical test modules, and automatic tool changing.
New, next-generation in-line assembly systems from ficonTEC incorporate a redesigned platform (400, 800, 1200, 1600). They come in particular in-line configurations as an all-around and individual production cell for existing production lines. Alternatively, it is also possible to supply them as task-optimized production segments that consist of various distinctly configured systems. In principal, it is possible to visualize even entire production lines.
Software Control
ProcessControlMaster (PCM) from ficonTEC is a process-oriented, user-friendly application software and control interface that is available with all multi-machine configurations and turnkey systems. PCM incorporates an insightful UI with all high-resolution positioning, machine vision, and system management routines needed for reliable and repeatable driving of passive/active alignment and attachment/bonding process hardware. It is also already completely enabled for automated electro-optical test and characterization tasks. It can also operate and monitor single lines, and even sync parallel lines remotely.
