Nanosystec: Products with a system

Exactly tailored to the respective process requirements of the devices, VersaWeld provides high productivity from the beginning. The application determines which laser source will be used and thus stainless steel, Kovar, Titan alloys and nonferrous metals can be efficiently processed.

NanoGlue serves as the ideal assembly station for opto-electronic components, such as photonics circuits,waveguides, diode lasers and photodiodes as well as lenses and modulators. It provides active alignment in all six degrees of freedom followed by epoxy gluing with UV curing.

On the NanoWeld stations, an optical fiber or a receptacle is actively positioned versus a laser diode, a solid-state laser or a high-speed photodiode. These devices require assembly in the sub-micrometer-range.

NanoHybrid provides a large degree of versatility. The active alignment, test and assembly station combines various assembly methods including gluing, laser welding or selective laser soldering. In addition, the station offers opto-electronic testing capability. Therefore, NanoHybrid is ideally suited for the development and small serial production in manufacturing companies or in research institutes.

NanoSolder actively aligns optical components such as photonic circuits, waveguides, diode lasers and photodiodes. It uses selective laser soldering for the assembly. Compared to gluing with subsequent curing, much shorter assembly times will be achieved by selective laser soldering.

The fully automated assembly station VersaGlue takes components, such as lenses or dies from a loading area and mounts them onto carrier devices. The assembly methods include epoxy gluing with UV or thermal curing as well as laser soldering and eutectic bonding.

Laser chips, bars or VCSEL require precise placement and a durable connection to the carrier. The versatile bonding station NanoBond solves this task by its high precision and speed. The system structure consists of granite making it insensitive against disturbing influences and providing a safe operation over a long time period.

The production system VersaSolder is a combination of laser-based selective soldering, optical systems and mechanical transport of the work pieces. The confi guration of the work station depends on the specifi c soldering task and the production fl ow. The modular design assures an optimal cost-performance ratio.

VersaHybrid is a semi or fully automated production system for complex assemblies which require a precision in the low micrometer regime. Assembly techniques include micro welding, selective laser soldering and gluing plus laser fine cutting. Various processing methods are combined in one station. Feeders, belts and robots allow for full automation.

NanoTest VCSEL measures VCSEL on wafer level or Chip on Carrier regarding their optical and electrical characteristics. The tester accommodates wafers with a diameter of up to 6 inches (150 mm), as an option also larger diameters can be integrated. A special interface mounted to the chuck also allows for testing Chip on Carrier devices.

All NanoTest stations combines precise measurements with high speed, proven reliability and ease of use. The versatility qualifies the stations not only for high volume quality assurance, but also for demanding development applications. This qualification helps to differentiate well-working devices from the ones with mediocre performance.

The fine balancing system NanoBalancer corrects smallest imbalances of rotating work pieces with laser ablation. The removal of material is performed either statically after the measurement or dynamically during the rotation of the work piece. Typical examples are impellers for technical or medical applications, airdriven turbines or small rotors of miniature motors.

The laser processing station VersaCut precisely ablates and cuts a large variety of materials, such as metals (stainless steel, nonferrous metals), ceramics like Si or AlN, and all kind of plastics. Depending on the indented use, the station uses different laser sources with the corresponding focusing optics. The modular VersaCut finds it application in research and production.
