- Up to 160 Smart Tape and Stick Feeders
- Wafer trays, gel packs, and waffle packs
- Feeder racks (front, back, and sides) with support for mixed formats
- Optional cut strip feeders and tray-based IC handling
Seamless Programming & Operation
The WH389 supports modern semiconductor workflows with:
- UCAD® (universal CAD) import from ASCII, AutoCAD, and Excel formats
- Onboard fiducial teaching camera
- Virtual PCB/IC Layout Simulator for verifying orientation and placement before production
- Smart Feeder compatibility for fast setup and efficient changeovers
Inspection & Inventory Tools
Enhance traceability and quality control with:
- Integrated vision inspection for die placement and paste printing
- Optional barcode scanning for lot codes, dates, and quantities
- Offline feeder programming to reduce downtime
