Abstract: A die bonder is provided comprising a bond head including a collet for picking up a die and bonding the die at a bonding site. The die bonder further comprises a first motor which is connected to the collet by a shaft for driving the collet in driving directions towards and away from the bonding site and a second motor which is connected to the bond head for driving the bond head in directions parallel to the driving directions of the first motor. A rotary motor is also operatively connected to the collet for rotating the collet about a rotational axis that is parallel to the driving directions of the first motor. The shaft is slidably connected to the rotary motor and is slidable relative to the rotary motor when it is driven by the first motor to move.

Abstract: A die bonder comprises a bond head having a load shaft which passes through the bond head and a collet located at one end of the load shaft for holding a die to be bonded. A bond force motor is operative to drive the load shaft along a travel axis in directions towards and away from a die bonding position. A rotary motor is operative to rotate the load shaft about a rotational axis parallel to the travel axis. A coupler which comprises a bearing couples the load shaft to the bond force motor to allow the load shaft to rotate about the rotational axis relative to the bond force motor.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method for calibrating a dispensing system. A dispenser dispenses a controlled quantity of material into a container for receiving material. A system, preferably a vision system comprising an image capturing device and an imaging system, is adapted to capture an image of a physical dimension of a quantity of dispensed material in a given time. The physical dimension may be a width of a top surface area, a height or a cross-sectional area of the dispensed material. A calibrating system is adapted to calculate a volume of the quantity of material based upon said physical dimension.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method for dispensing material onto a substrate. The apparatus comprises a dispensing system having a dipenser and a control system adapted to adjust a quantity of material to be dispensed onto the substrate. It also includes an image capturing system adapted to acquire an image of the material that is dispensed onto the substrate, a measuring system to analyze the image and measure the quantity of material dispensed, and a compensation system adapted to provide a correction signal to the control system to vary the quantity of material dispensed.
