Flowchart

Die Inspection | Input Magazine Loading

Magazine is loaded into the input. An empty magazine or carrier tape reel is loaded depending on the output format.

Die Inspection | Wafer Ring Extraction

The input magazine lifter positions the magazine, and the wafer ring extractor pulls the wafer ring into the wafer ring holder.

Die Inspection | Initial Inspection & Transfer

The input flipper will index the unit, and the bottom vision inspects and transfers it to the main turret.

Die Inspection | Tape Output Inspection

The main turret will index the unit through the top vision, contactless precisor, and 4-side vision station

Die Inspection | Sorting Based on Inspection

If the unit is good, it will be placed into the output wafer or tape and reel; otherwise, it will be sent to the system reject bin.

Die Inspection | Main Turret Inspection Sequence

For tape output, pocket vision inspects the unit inside the carrier tape, and seal vision inspects the sealing condition of the cover tape.

How does a die sorter inspection machine work?

The die sorter inspection machine picks up individual dies or microchips using a vacuum or other method and places them onto a wafer tape or tape and reels. The machine can also inspect and test each die before placing it, ensuring quality control and consistency in the packaging process.

What are the benefits of using a die sorter inspection machine?

Using a die sorter inspection machine can increase production efficiency, improve quality control, and reduce labor costs. The machine can also handle delicate and small components, which would be difficult or impossible to place manually.

What factors should be considered when choosing a die sorter inspection machine?

When choosing a die sorter inspection machine, factors such as accuracy, speed, ease of use, and compatibility should be considered. The size and type of dies or microchips being sorted should also be taken it.
