Sioux Technologies has a long-standing partnership with ITEC, developing and producing its record-breaking machines. ITEC's wire bonders can place a mind-blowing 90,000 chips per hour with 5-micron accuracy.
Sioux has collaborated with ITEC since 2008, contributing to the development and prototyping of its Tagliner, a machine specifically designed for applying chips to RFID tags – a booming market.
Sioux's expertise in mathematics and optomechatronics was crucial in developing ITEC's technology.
The Tagliner boasts a unique 3-module product handler:
- Applies glue to the substrate
- Positions the chip with incredible speed and accuracy
- Thermally hardens the compound
This complex process happens at lightning speed, achieving a remarkable 99.8% yield!
