Abstract:
1. An assembler for constructing a pagewidth inkjet printhead by assembling a plurality of inkjet printhead integrated circuits (ICs) on a carrier, said assembler comprising: a support assembly operatively supporting a diced wafer, said diced wafer including the printhead ICs; a wafer positioning assembly for positioning the diced wafer; a die picking assembly for picking the printhead ICs from said wafer; a die placement assembly for placing the printhead ICs onto the carrier such that a predetermined plurality of printhead ICs are sequentially positioned across the carrier so as to construct said pagewidth inkjet printhead, wherein the carrier defines a plurality of tortuous ink paths for supplying ink to fluid inlets in each printhead IC; a die conveyance mechanism for operatively conveying the printhead ICs from the die picking and placement assemblies; a clamp assembly comprising: a control system controlling the assembler, wherein said wafer positioning assembly comprises:
