Hudson, New Hampshire, USA CeTaQ Americas announces the expansion of machine performance verification services to include verifying placement of very tiny passive chip components to 01005 size. These tiny components, loaded from tape and reel, are extremely difficult to place accurately and repeatably, and require that placement equipment operate within the tightest performance tolerances and accuracy in order to minimize defects.
In making the announcement, CeTaQ General Manager Mike Sivigny said, "These chips are so tiny that pad dimensions and geometries are measured in microns. If a placement machine is not operating fully within a manufacturer's stated accuracies, there will be a higher rate of defects and reduced yields. These components are already responsible for higher defect levels than larger scale components, and are the focus of considerable process optimization efforts within the industry. Additionally, their tiny size makes manual rework difficult, compounding the negative impact of defects caused by inaccurate placement."
The most common problems found on chip placement equipment, Sivigny adds, are systematic offsets, per head, per nozzle, per angle or simply a general offset. Offsets negatively affect chip shooter accuracy, resulting in PCB defects, lower yields, and costly manual rework. With growing demand for 01005 chip usage, placement accuracy is critically important.
CeTaQ Americas provides a mobile product and service offering hird party, objective evaluation methodology of machine performance verification for placement equipment and other production assembly machine such as printers and dispensers. Speciallydesigned highly accurate glass testing fixtures and powerful software tools allow for independent measurement of Cp and Cpk indices on production equipment. Innovative software operates the measurement equipment and provides statistical specification based results on machine quality performance. Comprehensive certification reports validate performance, which allows users to improve accuracy and repeatability, to optimize performance for increased profitability.
