3 to 12 Axes for Fiber Optics Production micro assembly machines

Dispensing Module / UV Curing For highest degree of automation the FL300 machines can be equipped with an epoxy delivery module. The module is controlled from within the assembly process. It is available with or without a UV curing functionality. Fields of Use • Fiber optical module assembly • Planar waveguide coupling • Silicon Photonics • Pigtailing Alignment Laser When attaching fibers to passive optical component such as PDs, PLCs, or AWGs alignment lasers are needed for active alignment. The wavelengths needed can chosen from the typical bands 1310 nm oi nm. For fiber arrays multiple lasers...

Fiber Gripper Power Meter An essential module to fiber attach machines is the gripper which actually transfers the alignment movements to the tip of the fiber. Evidently a proper designed fiber gripper is vital for a stable alignment and testing process. Consult ficonTEC for existing gripper designs or have us design your own. An analogue power meter reads the optical signal and feeds it to the motion system in real time. The active alignment routines make use of closed loop communication for highest speed and precision. All common fiber connector types are available. Gripper Alignment Engine 5 nm...

A center stage carries the assembly or test chuck. The stage can be static for easy application or motorized for easy loading access or for large die test and assembly tasks, as well as for basic pick & place. Center Stage Assembly/Test Chuck The chuck represents the interface of the machine to the component. Besides the fiber gripper it is the module of an FL300 system with highest degree of customization. Be it TEC control, component operation, obtaining feedback signals a highly sophisticated chuck design is a key to optimum assembly and test results. Consult ficonTEC for existing fixtures...
