Probe Card manufacturing equipment

If you want to bring probe card support in-house, the we build test station gives you the tools to do it. Built for the maintenance, repair and build of blade and epoxy cantilever probe cards, it puts probe card capability directly in your facility.

What it does

The Compass allows operators to align, planarize and replace probes quickly and accurately. A 360° rotating 6" wafer vacuum chuck provides easy access to all probe card areas and locks in place for stable assembly. An integrated ohms tester measures contact resistance, and a built-in planarizer indicates which probes are making contact to guide the planarization process.

A probe card holder accommodating sizes from 4.5" to 10" means the station works with a wide variety of cards.

Building blade probe cards

A specially designed gripper arm supports the full build of blade probe cards using Sandy-supplied blade needles. The arm mounts on either side of the station for left or right-handed working, holds the needle during positioning and soldering, and removes easily for planarization access.
