FINEPLACER ® lambda 1 Hints for Using this Manual Please read the safety instructions first before operating the FINEPLACER ® • Have a look at the pictures before reading the operating instructions to familiarize yourself with the FINEPLACER ® . Start with the basic machine and do the same with each module belonging to your special system configuration.

FINEPLACER lambda ® Optional accessories include special optics for positioning large fine pitch devices on their substrates and high magnification systems for observing chip bonding. All state of the art bonding technologies can be performed, such as thermocompression, ultrasonic/thermosonic bonding, ACF bonding, UV cure and bonding of C4 chips. Due to the modular system, the necessary configuration may easily be optimized, corresponding to your individual requirements.
FINEPLACER lambda ® 2.2 Operating Principle, Method of Working and System Features The patented advanced Vision Alignment System of the lambda is based on the principle of imaging two orthogonal images simultaneously into one common image plane, using a stationary beam splitter (30) and a single beam deflection (see fig. 1): Fig.
® equipment is designed to be used solely for work on components and substrates in the way intended in a configuration agreed with Finetech and together with Finetech approved equipment. In other cases it must be expressly agreed in writing with Finetech GmbH, Berlin, Germany, under the conditions stated in the manual.
Commercial damage or personal injury caused by neglecting the above safety measures is not covered by Finetech's responsibility. Arrange cables and hoses so that nobody can get caught. If you want to move the machine, first disconnect all cables and hoses and take the positioning table off the base plate.
FINEPLACER lambda ® Two-handed handling of the positioning table Under no cirscumstances press the pedal unless both hands are on the positioning table. Risk of damage or injury. With activated air cushion, the positioning table’s outer edges can be moved beyond the edges of the base plate.
EC Directive of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Magnetic fields being beyond the limits of the above directive could anyhow influence the function of Finetech heating modules resulting in temperature deviation or unexpected program stops. 2.8 Heat and Fire Hazards, Risk of Burns Heating plates and other heating accessories may cause heat and fire hazards by improper use and in the case of equipment defects.
FINEPLACER ® lambda If there is any sign of increasing overheating (if display shows values much higher than set value, or heating period is longer than programmed, or ERROR light comes on etc.), switch off the equipment and call for qualified maintenance personnel! Heating should be stopped in case of danger caused by any heated modules.

FINEPLACER lambda ® 3.3.6 RS-232 Interface The Placer Control Box possesses an RS 232 interface, its connector PC RS-232 is in the back panel. It can be used for linking the PC to the Placer Control Box, allowing modifications of the internal software, as well as communication between the PC and every module connected to the placer Control Box.
PC RS232 Connecting PC and Interface Module For this connect all Finetech® boxes in a chain as shown in the picture above. Begin with the Placer Control Box and connect all further module boxes with the delivered interface cables (Western Plug) in any order. Please note that the last box in the chain must be terminated by the terminal resistor plug.
FINEPLACER ® lambda 3.4.2 Controlling the Brightness The revolution transmitters have no mechanical stops at their end positions. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the brightness, turning counter clockwise will decrease it. As soon as the brightness is at its maximum or minimum, a signal is heard.
FINEPLACER lambda ® When the arm is in the horizontal position, it is possible to switch the vacuum to the pipette permanently. To do this, the vacuum foot switch has to be pressed for longer then three seconds. 3.4.4 Vacuum Control Safety System The Vacuum Control Safety System minimizes the possibility of component loss caused by faulty operation.

FINEPLACER lambda ® 5 Operating Instructions The following instructions assume that you are informed and fully aware of the function of the equipment (see chapter 3) and of the safety instructions (see chapter 2) and that the FINEPLACER ® has been calibrated and checked out (see chapter 4.2).
FINEPLACER lambda ® 5.2 Loading the component for Placement Align the component, lying e.g. face-down in a tray, with the placement head. Then switch off the vacuum, lay down the arm, switch on the vacuum again and pick up the component with the head. See chapter 3.2.4, for information on vacuum control.
FINEPLACER lambda ® 6 Maintenance 6.1 Preventive Maintenance 6.1.1 Maintenance - Duty of care • Maintenance work should only be carried out by trained personnel • Make sure that the machine is in a state where you cannot injure yourself: Substrate Heating Modules and Chip Heating Modules must be deactivated and cooled off, the positioning table has to be in a maintenance position.
FINEPLACER ® lambda Left-hand maintenance position of the table • Move the positioning table away from the operator towards the arm support and then to the right. This time, the magnet inside the base plate will remain covered by the table (see illustration). Turn off the machine. Clean the left side of the base plate.
FINEPLACER ® lambda • Take care of the optical parts. Keep the optical surfaces clean at all times. Glass surfaces of the beam splitter (30) and other optics may be cleaned with customary optics hair pencils or cleaning rags, surface mirrors with alcohol and hair pencil.
