[labnetwork] Wedge Bonders

[Malhotra, Sandra Guy]

Howdy Shivakumar,
We have this K&S wire bonder (https://aggiefab.tamu.edu/equipment/ks-wire-bonder/) and were very unhappy with it because it was so difficult to use. We recently had field service engineer Greg Delasandro come out and discovered so many things that needed to be repaired. He also trained us on the best methods of threading and making bonds. What a difference! We now have happy users. If your wire bonders haven't had a PM for a while, I would recommend it because that may be one reason your bonders are so difficult to use. Here's Greg's contact info:

Hi All, We are planning to purchase a wedge bonder. I used K&S (now MPP) and West Bond manual wedge bonder. But in my experience, users have difficulty threading the wires, and most of the time, it never works, and this tool requires many ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart

Hi All,



We are planning to purchase a wedge bonder. I used K&S (now MPP) and West Bond manual wedge bonder.  But in my experience, users have difficulty threading the wires, and most of the time, it never works, and this tool requires many hours of staff support to help users and keep the tool running. I would like to know which Wedge bonder you have in your facility and any recommendations that I can buy.



Thanks

Shiva
