Nordson ASYMTEK Introduces New Spectrum S-920N-C Stainless Steel Cleanroom Dispenser

Nordson ASYMTEK, a leader in dispensing, coating, and jetting technologies, introduces its S-920N-C stainless steel dispensing system that is thirdparty certified for Class 100 cleanroom use. It is specifically designed for applications that are extremely sensitive to contamination by submicronsized particles, such as waferlevel packaging and disk drive assembly. Filmframe or barewafer handling can be added for integrated material loading and unloading.

The S-920N-C system's stainless steel enclosure has a passivated finish for easy wipedown. Its highflex electrical cables are enclosed in a cleanroomcertified jacket that reduces particulation and outgassing. The HEPA filter provides a downward particlefree air column within the dispense area, and the machine interior is positively pressurized. All pneumatic valves are exhausted to a duct for connection to a house vacuum to avoid particle emissions into the cleanroom.

The S-920N-C features technologically advanced and integrated software and hardware control that reduces process variation, increases yield, and reduces cost. Calibrated Process Jetting (CpJ(TM) ) automatically maintains volumetric repeatability during long production runs, while Controlled Process Heat (CpH(TM) ) adds recipecontrolled heat management for improved thermal efficiency with faster temperature ramp.

A digital vision system with dualcolor, adjustable onaxis lighting offers fast and reliable image acquisition for increased throughput. Adding the Fidsonthe-Fly(TM) option accelerates fiducial capture, and laser height sensing further reduces time spent on nondispense routines.

The scalable S-920N-C can be configured with single or dual lanes and up to six heat stations with the dual lane configuration. Its small footprint maximizes cleanroom floor space utilization and lowers cost of ownership. The platform is easily upgraded as needs change.
