Heating plates must be clamped into the PCB holder of the air bearing positioning table. They are used for heating substrates from beneath during the bonding process.
Different types of heating plates are availabe which differ e.g. in dimensions of heated area, power and speed.
FA7CV - FA10CV
 
High Speed Heating Plate FA7CV
All heating plates are able to withstand forces of up to 100 N without bending. All heating plates come with internal forced air cooling to provide rapid temperature ramps.
Inert gas chambers are available for all heating plates. They may be used to avoid undesired oxygen induced chemical reactions at the bonding joint. To achieve optimal control of the process parameters, the inert gas can optionally be preheated with a PC controlled temperature profile.
