(1) Start the machine
Press Power button to start the machine.
(2) Cleaning
Cleaning the crystal tube, bonding head, panel glass side electrode, remove everywhere dusty during bonding to make sure bonding process successfully one time. Cleaning the glass electrode and pcb electrode side, stick the ACF Tape to both electrode side ,
(3) Mode choose according to your bonding(PCB Side or TCP/Glass side)
If you buy the double head, choose “Left head” in the screen for the pcb bonding, choose “Right head” for the glass bonding.
(4) Bonding head alignment
Press “alignment” button, the head will go down, move the camera to head direction to make the head and electrode picture shown in the left and right screen. Then press “alignment ” button again, the head will go back.(when head go down to a specific position, you can use hand to pull up the “Position” button, the head will easily pull up and down for alignment )
(5) Glass side electrode alignment and fixed.
Put the glass electrode onto the crystal tube under the head, move and adjust the glass position, to make glass two side electrode in a straight line (look the screen during move the glass),then press “alignment” button head go down,to make the head and glass electrode overlap together, then press “Vacuum Absorp” button to make sure the glass and platform fixed.
(6) Pre-Press bonding
Use the T Solder Tip to bond the ACF Tape which stick on the glsss and pcb slightly to make sure the ACF Tape stick tightly on the electrode.(can use machine manual mode, preheat and remove the ACF Tape protective cover.)
then remove the glass side electrode ACF Tape protective cover, Clamp the TAB with the machine clamp jig, cleaning the TAB electrode side (note only one direction cleaning and the cotton swab turning during cleaning), put the TAB to glass electrode side, adjust the TAB position to make sure glass electrode and tab electrode side right alignment in a straight line together (note you cannot 100% make sure the tab and glass electrode exactly in right alignment together, have little deviation. sometime little deviation will be more perfect for bonding due to tab electrode will expansion two direction when heating, so allow deviation but cannot too big, if too big, when heating, expansion made the electrode far away from the glass electrode, if that happen, you have to stop and adjust and alignment again)
when all adjust well and alignment confirmed ,put the silicone rubber onto the bonding side, choose the “Manual” Mode in the control screen, press control screen “Press” button and the head down to the glass and then press screen “heat” button, basically when temperature up to 40℃-80℃ then press “Press” button again heating will stop and head up, note pre-press temperature can’t be too high. Note during heating, look the screen to check if TAB electrode heating expansion too big make the electrode far away from the glass electrode, you have to emergency stop and adjust and alignment again then pre press again.
(7) Final Bonding
After finish pre-press we can confirm the tab electrode and glass electrode can stick in right position.
Put the silicone rubber again on the bonding side, choose and press “Auto” mode in the screen ,then use your two hand to press “Start 1” and “Start 2” button at the same time,machine will start final bonding according to the pre-well program to complete the glass side bonding.
Regarding the pcb side electrode bigger than glass side, so alignment is easy, can with your eye to alignment, and assist with a handheld magnifier would be better, after confirmed, manual mode to pre-press to check and all ok, change to Auto mode to final bonding.
