Linear Voice Coil Assembly (LVCA)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nA new voice coil design with constant force values unchanging across stroke range is currently being developed by the PBA Systems R&D Team. The\u00a0Linear Voice Coil Assembly<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0LVCA<\/strong>\u00a0will be especially suitable for applications where maintaining a constant force along the stroke is critical, such as solar panel and flat panel glass cutting.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Short Case Studies<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\n\n\n\n
Carbon Fibre Arm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
In the past, wire bonder XY tables ran at 12G. Increased demand for better performing products, has led machine builders to design more sophisticated machines with higher UPH. Current XY tables are running at 28G with projection of 32G soon.<\/p>\n

Due to speed and acceleration requirements by certain applications, manufacturers are forced to look into new technology for high rigidity and light weight materials without increasing the foot print of the machine.<\/p>\n

PBA Systems has proposed the use of carbon fiber composite material as a solution to this problem faced by one of our customers. Custom-crafted by PBA’s carbon composite manufacturing division, the carbon fibre arm provides a\u00a044% reduction in weight coupled with a 10-fold increase in rigidity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Die Bonding Machine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
One of PBA Systems’ customer had been using a ball screw mechanism for their die bonding machine. Since ball screw mechanisms can’t achieve the high speed motion profile required, they had switched to the\u00a0DX B linear motor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition, the customer had been using PCI-based pulse and direction controller cards for their application which can’t meet the high speed and smooth motion profile required by the die bonding machine.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0MaxMotion<\/strong>\u00a0PCI-based analog command controller card was used instead to overcome those drawbacks. The MaxMotion control card produces smooth point-to-point and jerk-free synchronized motion. Moreover, it has 10msec settling time with +\/- 5um tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
