Automated alignment and Attach (Fiberpro IFA-600-AUCME3)
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.
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.
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.
