9000 Wedge Bonder

The Palomar 9000 Wedge Bonder is a high-speed fine wire wedge and ribbon bonder driven by voice coil technology in the bond head. This machine has interchangeable 45-60° and 90° deep access wedge clamps and operates across a single large 304 x 152 mm work area. As the entire bond head mechanism rides on theta, users realize excellent wire tension, a shorter wire feed path and inherent prevention of twisting of wire and ribbon, and better overall process control.
