Hi-Rel Wire Bonder & Universal Bond Tester Demonstrations at SMT Nuremberg 2012

Carlsbad, CA – May 1, 2012 – Palomar Technologies, the world-leading provider of precision microelectronics and optoelectronic packaging systems, today announced it will exhibit at SMT Nuremberg 2012, May 8-10, with live wire bonder demonstrations.

Palomar Technologies will exhibit in Hall 6 Booth #433 and will showcase an 8000 Wire Bonder and a Royce 650 Universal Bond Tester.

The 8000 Wire Bonder is a fully automated thermosonic high-speed, ball-and-stitch wire bonder capable of ball bumping, stud bumping, wafer bumping, chip bumping, and customized looping profiles. As the assembly method of choice for first level interconnection, it is suitable for many aspects of packaging and component assembly, including complex hybrids, MCMs and high-reliability devices.

Palomar Technologies offers several complementing die bonder systems: the 6500 Die Bonder is an ultra-high placement accuracy pick-and-place machine, which also has a wafer level packaging (WLP) configuration; and the ultra flexible 3800 Die Bonder, which supports up to three channels of adhesive dispense, component placement, epoxy and eutectic die attach and flip chip operations over a spacious 35.5" x 20" work area. Augmenting the bonder systems are Palomar Technologies Customer Services (Field Service support, Process Development Consulting and bonder training courses) and Palomar Technologies Assembly ServicesTM, which offer customers the unique ability to prototype and develop critical processes and materials with an OEM.

Mr. Josef Schmidl, director of Palomar Technologies Europe located in Erlangen, Germany, will be attending SMT Nuremberg and is available during the conference for any on-site meetings.

Mr. Dale Perry, Regional Manager of the Eastern North/South Americas, will also attend SMT Nuremberg. Mr. Perry is available during the duration of the conference to discuss Palomar Technologies Assembly ServicesTM capabilities and solutions.
