Material logistics.

In order to achieve the highest level of process automation, the selection of suitable material supply systems is very important. Possible systems range from wafer handling systems to tape feeders and waffle pack trays that can be transported from outside. In addition, the need to handle the substrate relative to processing systems can be achieved by using substrate handling systems that can move in six degrees of freedom. For example, the application of adhesives can be done in the vertical direction and the placement of the component on the applied adhesive can be realised in the horizontal direction. Parameters to be considered are approach heights, pick-up heights, needle start heights, exit heights, speed and waiting time. The picked-up parts are then checked for position and breaks using a bottom-side camera, and the good parts are sorted into a feed system, for example a gel pack or a waffle pack.
