Tyco will highlight a line of reel-to-reel RFID systems. Feature throughput to 9,000 cph, a 20" wide Web process capability and 12 mm placement repeatability at ± 3 Sigma.
 
Offers either passive or active designs, direct die pick from wafers to 0.008" and positive displacement dispense technology. Modular construction allows for future capacity expansion. Can place ancillary components such as batteries, capable of tape-and-reel die placement.
 
Uses a dispenser module with patented positive displacement pump technology, a placement system that has 12 mm repeatability and complete closed loop process control on the thermal compression station. The programmability provides control of the process. Cure station provides pressure control of each thermode, and real-time feedback provides statistical process control. Each module reports to the master controller during operation and this same master controller collects key process inputs, monitors system status, advances the web and alerts the operator to process issues. Is fully automatic.
 
Can handle either a straight die application or one that may change over time to use various methods of component presentation. Provides rapid changeover to facilitate using the system for prototype applications.
