Markets / Areas of Application

Electronics

Today, electronics manufacturing involves more than just assembling a printed circuit board with surface-mount devices (SMDs). In addition to component placement, the precise assembly of mechanical and optical components is often necessary. Electronics are becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, combining processes from different technologies that standard machines cannot handle.

Our expertise ranges from true 3D assembly to assembly and dispensing combined, as well as hot gas soldering. Applications that cannot be covered by the standard SMD line - or that can only be covered inefficiently - are well- uited to Infotech AG's platforms.

The Infotech Component Matrix provides the flexibility necessary for all tasks, whether used as a tabletop device, a stand-alone system in batch operation, or as part of a production line. With our products, maximum precision and high throughput are not mutually exclusive.

Semiconductor

In addition to classic die bonding, numerous semiconductor technology applications are difficult or impossible to achieve with standard machines. With our Infotech Component Matrix, we offer the flexibility necessary to meet special requirements, such as the precise placement and bonding of small dies with edge lengths starting at 200 µm.

Our areas of expertise include actively controlling and correcting plane parallelism, fixing the die with UV adhesive during placement, eutectic bonding, and stacking structures such as chip-on-chip and chip-on-wafer. We also have experience processing very thin wafers.

We offer flexibility in providing customer-specific software solutions, including handling wafer map files, ensuring traceability, and connecting to external host systems via SECS/GEM.

Watch Industry

Over the years, Infotech has expanded and refined its expertise in handling micro-components. The resulting Infotech Component Matrix is ideal for reliably handling micro-optical components.

In many photonics applications, an optical component (e.g., a lens or mirror) must be aligned with a light beam and mounted with a UV-curing adhesive. This process often requires positioning the components relative to each other.

Our portals cover four degrees of freedom as standard: X, Y, Z (vertical), and theta (rotation). However, additional axis systems can be added as needed to cover plane parallelism between the substrate and the component, the tilt angle of the component, and other degrees of freedom.

Typical applications include the high-precision assembly of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) on submounts, the handling and assembly of lenses and mirrors, active and passive alignment, and the assembly of optical or optoelectronic transmitter/receiver links.

Micromechanics

From assembling small gears and sorting and assembling plastic injection-molded parts to assembling mini chain links, Infotech Systems can efficiently, reliably, and precisely realize a wide range of possibilities.

Our core competencies lie in flexibly feeding small mechanical parts as bulk material, combined with image processing, recognition, picking and placing. These capabilities have a wide range of applications in micromechanics and mechatronics.

Our linear machine concept uses linear shuttles instead of rotary indexing tables to transport workpieces, making your production task extremely flexible and reliable. Many different process steps can be combined and integrated into a very small space.

Biotech

Our core competencies in dispensing tasks can be applied to a wide range of biotechnology applications. Accurate and reliable microdosing is essential for preparing samples for analytical investigations and constructing 3D carrier structures.

Often, different substances, including liquid samples containing enzymes, must be applied quickly with no carryover. Thanks to the Infotech Component Matrix's versatility, optimal and innovative systems can easily be adapted to meet specific requirements.

Med Tech

Special guidelines apply to automation projects in the pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors. Thanks to its compatibility with GAMP guidelines, streamlined project organization, and structured documentation, Infotech is a reliable partner in this area.

The high quality of Infotech's processes and the reliability of its systems guarantee successful automation projects, especially in these industries. Infotech's platforms and modules from the Component Matrix are specifically designed for these markets and their high-purity requirements. Cleanroom compatibility is guaranteed in terms of both particles and sterility.

Applications range from implant manufacturing processes to inspection, packaging, and asthma spray assembly.

Automotive Industry

Today's cars contain countless sensors. The assembly and connection technology for these systems requires the highest level of manufacturing quality, reliable equipment, and stable processes. After all, the safety of vehicle occupants depends on these sensors functioning properly.

For decades, Infotech has met the quality requirements of the automotive industry and its suppliers. We enjoy developing the latest technologies on our reliable, robust systems and transferring them to mass production. Whether they are laboratory systems for developing new processes or complete production lines, our platforms provide users with a clear understanding of what they are getting.

Most automotive industry applications combine dosing, placement, joining, and assembly processes in a compact, highly integrated design.
