3 Wafer Pick-and-Place Machine for Semiconductor Manufacturing

Wafer pick-and-place equipment is a high-precision automated system designed for semiconductor manufacturing, specializing in separating microchips from wafers and accurately mounting them onto substrates or packaging carriers. Its core requirements include micron-level precision, stability, and protection capabilities for fragile wafers. Based on the documented equipment parameters, we recommend the following solutions:

High-precision Automatic Pick-and-place Machine
HW-F5 wafer pick and place machine

Solution 1: HW-F5 High-Precision Placer (Basic-Level Wafer Applications)

Core Advantages

  • Precision: ±0.035mm (XYZ axes), supports 0201 (0.6×0.3mm) micro components
  • Vision System: Flying camera (12×12mm recognition range) + fixed camera (40×40mm) + 6MP Mark camera
  • Special Features: Laser PCB warpage compensation, real-time vacuum monitoring, intelligent path optimization (AI algorithm)
  • Compatibility: Supports 8-88mm width electric feeders with optional tube/tray feeding

Ideal Applications

  • Small-to-medium scale wafer mounting (e.g., sensor chips, MEMS devices)
  • R&D or pilot production environments requiring flexible handling of multiple chip sizes
HW-S6 PCB Pick-and-place Machine
HW-S6 PCB Placer (Advanced Wafer Precision Requirements)

Solution 2: HW-S6 PCB Placer (Advanced Wafer Precision Requirements)

Key Upgrades

  • Enhanced Precision: 6MP Mark camera + 5MP flying camera with dual lighting for recognition stability
  • Structural Optimization: Enclosed stepper motor eliminates vertical clearance, 31mm nozzle stroke accommodates 14mm tall components
  • Stability: Triple-rail screw structure reduces wear, X-axis parallel rail design improves smoothness
  • Feeding System: 70 feeder stations (dual front/rear fixed plates) supporting synchronous pickup from 8mm feeders

Ideal Applications

  • Large wafer (8-12 inch) continuous production
  • High-density chip array mounting (e.g., processors, memory chips)
HW-S5 High-precision Automatic Pick-and-place Machine
HW-S5 wafer pick and place machine

Solution 3: HW-S5 Dual-Arm Wafer Pick-and-Place Machine (High-Volume Production Solution)

Core Advantages

  • Dual-Station Mode: Independent/alternate placement with peak capacity of 84,000 CPH
  • Compatibility: Dual tracks support 510×410mm substrates, expandable to 1200mm length
  • Smart Control: MES system integration, supports hot-swappable trays and automatic nozzle change (40 nozzle types)

Ideal Applications

  • Hybrid wafer-PCB production lines (e.g., simultaneous LED chip + driver board placement)
  • High-throughput power device mounting (e.g., IGBT modules)

Selection Recommendations

  1. Precision Priority: HW-S6’s 6MP vision system is ideal for compound wafers (GaN/SiC) requiring <0.03mm error tolerance
  2. Mass Production: HW-S5 dual-arm configuration reduces cycle time, perfect for automotive electronics and other high-volume applications
  3. Cost Control: HW-F5 maintains ±0.035mm precision while consuming only 5KW, suitable for budget-conscious initial investments

Note: All solutions require an anti-static work environment and Z-axis parameter adjustments based on wafer thickness (0.5-9.0mm). We recommend adding PCB warpage detection modules for ultra-thin wafers (<0.2mm) requiring deformation compensation.
