Next-Generation Singulation System

Greatech has introduced its next-generation BDH6000 Singulation System, which utilizes a tapeless and nestless concept for BGAs, CSPs and QFNs. This system can handle various substrate types-without a nest apparatus for conversion-to reduce operating costs. This enhancement enables a 60% throughput, enabling a total throughput as high as 8K units/hr. Windows NT-based software offers the flexibility of English and Chinese versions. Test and laser mark are available features.
