The new high precision bidirectional turret wheel ensures planarity of all pick tools without the need for individual leveling. This allows rapid tool changes without impacting process set up.                                                                  New Z-Theta Bidirectional Bond Head

Its large 36 x 20 inch work envelope is ideal for a versatile automated die bonder capable of handling many different part types, presentation options, and application processes.     

Among the innovations on this cutting-edge machine is the ability to hit Palomar's best accuracy and repeatability specs over a wider range of applications and conditions. The 3880 Die Bonder is built upon a rich set of Palomar’s pick and place features, options, and capabilities. Plus, a complete redesign of the bond head incorporates a voice coil actuator; allowing for 5-1000 gram bond forces, improved linearity, and the bidirectional tool indexing comes standard.
