Merit Sensor has received its first Alphasem EasyLine 8088 “Sensor Bonder.” The machine will play a role in the ramp-up of its new production site in Utah. The sensors to be produced at this site are mainly for medical applications (such as blood pressure sensors.)
 
According to a press release, the process control and high throughput of the machine were decisive selling points, as were the handling of ceramic substrates and the die technology. The machine enables Merit to boost pressure sensor output.
 
The equipment is based on the EasyLine platform and features high-speed air bearing pick-and -place, closed-loop linear motor pick tool for bond line thickness control and fully automatic wafer handling system. To meet demands in the field of MEMS and sensors, an active Theta control of the bond head has been implemented.

EAC-7000 hand assembly series is available in two or three operator sections, and may have the rails set at zero or 15° (to customer preference).
 
The hand assembly lines provide a clean, ergonomic means to hand-place odd-form and other components prior to reflow or wave. Equipped with overhead lighting, adjust rear part shelves, low-profile front work area (maximizing leg room), ESD ground ports, and hand or foot pedal release for operators. Allow for progressive assembly through intelligent routing sequencing.
 
Features PLC, steel roller chain with pneumatic stops, intelligent sensing and rear shelf storage system. Capable of holding a variety of part bins or other carriers.
 
Optional add-ons include LCD holders, front work surface, ESD part bins, and tilt and feed stations (for 15° configurations).

LAGUNA, PHILIPPINES -- Integrated Microelectronics Inc. and Pulax Corp. have signed a deal under which IMI will provide high-volume electronic manufacturing services and Pulax will handle prototyping for electronics products, subassemblies and components for Japanese OEMs.

IMI president and chief executive Arthur R. Tan said Japan-based Pulax would handle prototyping, pilot run, engineering services, and other startup operations for IMI’s new business with Japanese OEMs. IMI in turn would provide large-scale manufacturing in its Southeast Asia plants.

Japanese OEMs contribute the bulk -- more than 60% -- of the revenues generated by the IMI group of companies.

Said Tan: “Pulax’ advanced design and mounting technologies for printed circuit boards and fast prototyping turnaround time complement IMI’s comprehensive and cost-effective manufacturing capabilities. Hence, Japanese customers will benefit from lower costs of production as well as faster time-to-market."

IMI has EMS plants in China, the Philippines, Singapore, and the U.S.

Pulax, which is headquartered in Tokyo, has been in business for more than 32 years.
