The Fico ISS is the successor of the MISS II system. The modular design remains one of the main features of this new system. Besides that, the new Fico ISS contains a number of innovative solutions resulting in a significantly higher system output. Its unique features such as up-side-down sawing process, the patented chuck system, easy and fast conversion (in less than 5 minutes!) and the reliable gravity based scrap management system are just a few of the basic features of the success.


Eight head device sorter

The new high performance eight head device sorter results in a significantly faster sorting throughput. The eight picker-heads provide a high output for the overall sorting system. On top of the (patented) automatic pitch adjustment, each individual picker-head can make a Z-stroke to ensure that always eight products are handled. Furthermore the flexibility of the individual Z-strokes results in easier placement in case of multiple position offload.


Combined sawing & cleaning process

Remaining dust from a laser marker or solder flux can often show up as severe contamination at the bottom (ball-)side of the products. An optional three nozzle high pressure rinsing action cleans the products after the sawing process is finished.

The newly developed parallel clean & dry system guarantees optimal drying of the products without influencing the output. It uses a specially developed foam roller which removes both water and dust in combination with a vacuum / suction action. The new system results in faster and more reliable drying.


High output: 18,500 UPH

A standard Fico ISS has an extremely high output of up to 18,500 units per hour. The new sawing module can be even linked to more than one sorting module, improving the balance between the sawing and sorting process. Output figures of more than 25.000 UPH for sawing including full vision inspection and sorting can be achieved.


Modular build / scalable output

The Fico Integrated Sawing System features a modular system configuration.
The standard system configuration contains a magazine loader unit, a saw-singulation unit and a device sorter unit with the standard bottom inspection set-up.


Fully integrated dicing engine with data feedback system

Statistical Process Analysis (SPA) gives the engineer a live view on the detailed results of the singulation process. Both size and offset are graphically shown on screen and statistically analyzed by the system during production.


Smallest footprint

Due to the fully integrated solution of the Fico sawing engine and the Fico device sorter, the resulting footprint is the smallest one in the market today (4.1 m2).


Fastest conversion / product changeover

With the patented chuck construction and the flexible single vacuum cup approach, there are practically no limits as to what the system can handle. A complete conversion takes less than five minutes.


Upside down sawing resulting in effective scrap handling and no blade breakage

One of the unique features if the Fico ISS is the upside-down sawing process. In combination with the reliable gravity based scrap management system it prevents saw blade breackage, and thus yield loss.


Patented in-line blade diameter measurement with automatic coolant adjustment

The Saw Blade Treatment (SBT) feature combines a blade diameter measurement with a blade breakage detection feature and a process coolant nozzle, all in one unit. This unique and patented unit allows in-line blade diameter measurement and adjustment. The combination of the diameter measurement with the water coolant nozzles provides optimal positioning and automatic adjustment of the process coolant.


Dual spindle configuration

Each Fico ISS is by default equipeed with two sawing blades, each on a separate spindle, increasing the output of the machine.


Substrate warpage handling

Various substrate handling features ensure optimal handling of warped products. A special magazine loader pusher guarantees optimal substrate transfer, regardless of the substrate warpage. This continues with a dedicated wheel drive construction in the infeed unit, up to the spring loaded and auto-adjusting Y- and Z-aligners in the strip end position.
