ficonTEC’s AssemblyLine systems are high-precision, rapid-active alignment stand-alone, and in-line assembly solutions built for automatic production (align-and-attach) of photonic devices. They exceptionally integrate active alignment features and flexible attachment configurations with well-proven software control interface, all in an industry-established design. Optional modules offer extra features, with the high-end models offering automatic tool swapping, test modules, and wafer processing capability.
ficonTEC’s next-generation in-line assembly systems use a redesigned platform (400, 800, 1200, 1600). They are provided in precise in-line configurations as an individual and adaptable production cell for current production lines, or they can be delivered as task-enhanced production segments comprising a number of differently configured systems. Basically, even complete production lines can be visualized.
Software Control
ProcessControlMaster (PCM) is ficonTEC’s user-friendly and process-oriented application software and control interface that is dispatched with all turn-key systems and multi-machine configurations. PCM features an intuitive UI that comprises of all machine vision, active positioning and system management routines needed to consistently and repeatably stimulate passive/active alignment and attachment/bonding process hardware. It also is delivered fully enabled for automated electro-optical test and characterization operations, as well as having the ability to operate, track, and sync parallel lines remotely.
