JPSA Launches Controls32 System Control Software
Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - Micromachining and wafer processing with lasers has reached the sub-micron precision level; to meet these ever-increasing control and programmability challenges, J P Sercel Associates (JPSA) announces the introduction of its new more powerful, more user-friendly JPSAControls32 System Control Software, an engineer-level user interface that provides complete control of all system devices and software components for system setup and programming. JPSAControls32 is Windows-based software offering a number of special features such as a System configuration editor for convenient editing of system software settings and CAD file translation capability (of .dxf files, for easy automated programming of complex designs).
In making the announcement, Jeffrey P. Sercel, President, said "Our overall goal in developing JPSAControls32 has been to integrate all motion devices, including the laser-fire commands, in an English-language, easy-to-use, yet powerful user interface. JPSAControls32 integrates our unique dual camera system, consisting of a process camera and high-resolution inspection camera, for fast, high-precision part alignment."
JPSAControls32 provides advanced project management utilities that permit system software to 'remember' settings for an unlimited number of different production tasks; JPSATools32 Module, which provides user access control for three levels: Operator, Maintenance, and Setup. The program provides setup and control of all stages of motion including linear stages, rotary stages, motorized beam delivery system components (mask changers, rectangular variable apertures, variable attenuators, beam stops, etc.) and laser fire mechanisms. It also provides high-level programming language that permits users to program complex automation sequences that integrate motion control, digital I/O, and laser functions and then save them in files. There are many more powerful features and associated tools. JPSAControls32 also features a unique Wafer Scribing Macro Builder, an easy-to-use interface that allows the user to input wafer diameter, die pitch in X and Y, etc. to automatically create a desired run list; it can be used for an unlimited number of wafer/die configurations.
