Introducing ACELON™: A Cutting-Edge Dispenser for Advanced Manufacturing

Kulicke & Soffa Unveils the ACELON™ Dispenser

In a significant advancement for the manufacturing industry, Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: KLIC) has recently presented their latest innovation: ACELON™, a sophisticated precision dispenser designed for diverse applications in semiconductors, surface-mount technology (SMT), and automotive assembly. This state-of-the-art dispensing platform builds upon the company's unparalleled machine architecture in wire bonding, which has been a trusted solution for leading clients involved in high-reliability and high-volume production settings for decades.

ACELON™ addresses complex dispensing challenges facing manufacturers with remarkable process stability, thereby ensuring consistency even in critical production environments. Notably, the dispenser is engineered to accommodate larger substrates and intricate assembly configurations thanks to an impressively expanded working area, achieving an industry-leading wet accuracy of less than 20 micrometers. This precision is vital for applications where dimensional tolerances play a crucial role.

Key Features of ACELON™

The technological advancements featured in ACELON™ include:
1. Automatic Calibration Functions: These streamline setup processes, significantly reducing the need for operator intervention. This user-friendly feature is crucial for maintaining productivity, especially in fast-paced manufacturing settings.
2. Twin Valve/Dual Valve Capability: This optional enhancement allows for increased throughput and flexibility in configuration, particularly beneficial for high-volume production environments.
3. Precision Placement Accuracy: ACELON™ boasts outstanding repeatability, allowing for sub-180 micrometer keep-out zones (KOZ). This capability enables designers to create denser component layouts, which are increasingly necessary in the context of advanced packaging trends.
4. AI-Powered Auto Parameter Tuning (APT): This intelligent software continuously monitors and adjusts system parameters based on historical performance and process outcomes, thus enhancing both quality and efficiency.

These features are designed to substantially reduce setup times and bolster production consistency, equipping manufacturers to meet the challenges posed by advanced packaging demands.
