FREMONT, CA - Owens Design, a provider of turnkey product development outsourcing services, has partnered with Questar Products International to develop a line of automatic wire bonders built on Kulicke and Soffa’s  former Hybrid bonder platforms. The Questar Q2100 series bonders include capabilities for fine pitch, large table travel and ball bumping, as well as customizable software. 

John Apgar, president of Owens Design, said, “Our customer challenged us to come up with a cost effective design, replacing and upgrading older technology components, solving difficult electronics layout challenges, while packaging the system and all electronics in a very small footprint, and conforming to all SEMI and CE standards.”

Questar Products chose Owens Design due to its history in solving problems in complex electronics packaging and being able to design, prototype and continue to build ongoing machines in production volumes at prices that match or are below their own internal cost. 

Dennis Scott, president of Questar, said, “As a small company focused solely on delivering high quality wire bonding equipment at aggressive prices, we must partner with companies that can deliver on our customers high expectations. The fact that they could do both the design and the assembly made Owens an obvious choice.”
