Pulsed Heat Thermode Thermode Benefits Fast heating and forced air cooling for minimum process cycle times Robust 3-dimensional design for high force applications and perfect bond planarity Adapter block (QCB) for easy and fast exchange of thermodes without re-adjustment 3-D design eliminates voltage drop on products Thermode Technology / Features The Thermode (Hot bar), which is the heart of each bonding system, is specially designed by Miyachi Europe for a range of applications. Since each customer application demands its own specific requirements, Miyachi Europe offers a complete range of pulsed heat thermodes (Hot bars).The Miyachi thermode design offers ultra-fast heating and cooling cycles hence minimizing process times. Forced air-cooling after the heating process further speeds the total bonding process. The thermode is designed to maintain co-planarity and withstand deformation that results from the high forces that may be necessary in some bonding processes. The Thermo-plane Thermode eliminates voltage drop as current flows through the thermode from front-to-back instead of left-to-right, preventing damage to the parts when soldering. Wire-Soldering & Heatstake processes require their own specific thermode configurations based on product size, shape and configuration. Miyachi offers a full range of standard as well as custom Quick Connect Block The connection of the Thermode (Hot bar) to the bonding head is achieved by using a Quick Connect Block (QCB). This QCB is mounted to the bottom base-plate of the bonding head with two set screws. The QCB and Thermode are designed to be used as a set. The set is ground to optimize co-planarity resulting in the best quality of product bonds. The set also enables fast exchange of the Thermode in mid-production and, more importantly, without further adjustment. The special shaft design of the QCB guarantees position of the thermode. There are different types of QCB's supporting the different thermode configurations for each process such as Hot bar Reflow Soldering, ACF Bonding or Heatstaking.
