The Universal AdVantis AFC-42 builds on the GSM platform to improve performance and further reduce cost per placement in flip-chip assembly and other advanced packages. It is designed to reduce the cost of entry for manufacturers needing high-mix capability, increased speed and greater accuracy at a smaller footprint. The machine leverages the platform concept to deliver a low priced but highly scalable solution ideal for low-margin assembly applications. The machine features a single-beam positioning system, and employs dual-drive lead screws as well as 1-micron linear encoders for accuracy close to that of the GSMxs linear-motor-based platform. Reportedly, all of the capability and functionality of high-end assembly has been transferred to the AFC-42, including high magnification cameras, flip-chip algorithms, low-force capability, heated spindles, fluxing, several feeder types and dispensing. This solution will be especially attractive to high-mix and high-volume manufacturers whose markets demand the utmost cost-per-placement efficiency in order to sustain narrow margins. These users need no more than it takes to perform the task, but want an option to scale up later if necessary. The up-front configurability and scalability allow meeting individual needs more precisely and cost-effectively.
