General Scanning Inc. has announced the introduction of the VV770 Chip Component Trim System.
The W770 Chip Component Trim System features TrimPulse™ laser control, the first genuine breakthrough in thick-film laser trimming in over 20 years. TrimPulse™ laser control adds a critical dimension to the production trim process, enabling significantly higher throughput than has ever been achieved before.
"TrimPulse™ is a patent-pending laser control system that assures the highest quality cuts at unprecedented speeds", said John DeGiorgio, Trim and test product manager at General Scanning. "By matching laser physics to the paste chemistry, the W770 achieves trim speeds once thought impossible without sacrificing quality."
The W770 addresses the need for chip resistor manufacturers to control process cost, quality and volume requirements through the unique integration of TrimPulse™ laser control, precision beam positioner, and a high-speed measurement system delivering the lowest process costs and tightest process distribution.
The W770's new beam positioning system has been optimized to meet the speed, accuracy, and precision required in high-volume production. A proprietary micro-step servo control delivers the tightest turning radius for the most precise, predictable "L"-cuts in the industry.
An intelligent parts handler sets the standard for reliability and simplicity, delivering production tolerant, "lights out" operation on the smallest package sizes and automatically managing multi-lot jobs and nonconforming parts.
