Quadrio Alpha
High Volume Plasma System
Quadrio Alpha High Volume Plasma Cleaner Applications
Quadrio Alpha is a semi-automatic standalone plasma cleaning system designed to process lead frames in magazines.
The origins of this systems date back in 2004 where the first versions of the old Quadrio systems where delivered to the market.
Since then, Quadrio Alpha has been improving over the years following our customers feedback by adding new features, like the full lead frame traceability option, or by increasing its reliability through continuous improvement of its plasma chamber design.
Quadrio Alpha can process lead frames in magazines of different sizes and various materials. In Quadrio Alpha, each lead frame is taken out of the magazine, plasma processed and put back in the same magazine. This guarantees the best results in terms of plasma cleaning and activation
Quadrio Alpha comes in two versions:
- Quadrio Alpha 4 where up to 4 magazines can be processed at the same time, or
- Quadrio Alpha 5 where up to 5 magazines can be processed at the same time
The main applications of Quadrio Alpha are:
- Plasma cleaning before wire-bonding
- Plasma cleaning before transfer molding
Quadrio Alpha main advantage is its compact dimensions and high throughput. Thanks to its longevity, Quadrio Alpha can benefit from years of continuous improvement, deliverying the best stability for a manufacturing environment.
Advanced traceability options are available on this system to easily integrate with a variety of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).
