Note: This tool will be available in September 2026.

About

IFA-600-AUCME3 (hereinafter, IFA-600) is an automatic alignment, bonding (adhesive based) and test system for optical devices.

Application

Device Assembly/Test using the active alignment w/ the optical signal

In these cases, a light source is being coupled to the device and output is captured, measured by optical power meter and used as feedback signal for alignment.

Optical In & Out Configuration
Device Assembly/Test using the active alignment w/ the optical & electrical signal

In these cases, an electrical signal is either used to bias the active device via probes or photocurrent is used as feedback signal for alignment.

Electro-Optical In & Out Configuration

System Overview

  • Total 24 motorized stages including 21 high precision motorized stages for active alignment.
    • 6-axis independent alignment stage assemblies (Left, Right, S1) 
    • 3-axis center stage assembly
    • 3-axis tool positioner assembly which places cameras, epoxy syringe, and UV heads at desired locations.
  • Multi-channel built-in power meter/current meter for optical and electrical measurement.
  • Automatic epoxy dispensing & UV curing for device assembly.
  • Precise gap control and angle alignment of fiber blocks based on displacement sensor.
  • 3 digital cameras for vision processing and process monitoring and stage control.
  • Precise temperature control from +15 ºC to +75 ºC.
  • Fixtures with detachable mechanism for handling the coupling methods described in Application section.
