Abstract:
A system for conditioning a plurality of semiconductor leads of a semiconductor device, the system comprising:a plurality of comb blades having a predetermined thickness, where each comb blade is separated by a predetermined distance from one or more adjacent comb blades, each comb blade terminating at a notch configured to allow one or more of the semiconductor leads to be moved laterally through the notch; a controller coupled to the plurality of comb blades, the controller causing the plurality of comb blades to move relative to the semiconductor device so as to perform lateral and vertical conditioning of the semiconductor leads; and a lead position controller receiving lateral control data and generating lead control motor position data in response to the lateral control data, the lead position controller further comprising a half pitch position controller receiving the lateral control data and generating half pitch position control data in response to the lateral control data.
