<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
