Single workstation provides Mems assembly, micro-motion analysis, electronic test, repair and packaging for applications in many industrial and scientific markets
Polytec and Micromanipulator have combined their technologies to provide a consolidated Mems workstation for proof-of-design and prototype testing.
Now a single workstation can provide Mems assembly, micro-motion analysis, electronic test, repair and packaging for applications in RF/wireless, optical, telecommunications, biomedical, chemical, automotive, aerospace and commercial markets, say the companies.
The workstation comes equipped with Polytec's MSA-400 micro system analyser for optical imaging and characterisation of in-plane and out-of-plane motion, including deflection shapes, frequency response, and Bode plots.
The probe station can be equipped for manual or semiautomatic measurements in atmospheric or vacuum environments with a range of tools for contacting, cutting, heating, shaking, stimulating, dispensing and encapsulating devices.
To demonstrate the new Mems workstation, Polytec and Micromanipulator are offering a series of complimentary application seminars.
The current schedule includes stops in Dallas, Texas on 18-19 May, Boston, Massachusetts on 29-30 June, Detroit/Ann Arbor, Michigan on 10-11 August, and in San Jose, California on 22-23 September, 2005.
The Mems workstation seminars include instruction, demonstration and hands-on experience using the MSA-400 and the probe station to make measurements on wafers, chips or packaged parts.
The topics include in-plane motion analysis to nanometer resolution, out-of-plan motion analysis to picometer resolution, grip/position/placement for Mems microparts, how to apply or inject liquids and/or adhesives to Mems devices and more.
Polytec and Micromanipulator invite registered guests to bring their own Mems devices for a free motion analysis.
