CORE CAPABILITIES Our systems incorporate both custom engineered and best-in-class standard modules to deliver unsurpassed accuracy, repeatability and durability. Our core capabilities are in the area of: Placement Process Engineering PLACEMENT CAPABILITIES We have vast experience in high accuracy placement systems with placement accuracy down to the sub-micron level. High placement accuracy is achieved by integrating state-of-the-art motion system with real-time corrections using vision results and global references, in combination with automatic periodic calibration, effective vibration isolation, and thermal management. Our expertise in high precision motion stages includes: Air bearing stages (linear, rotary) Linear motor (linear) Direct drive torque motor (rotary) Linear encoder or Laser interferometer feedback ATS is a world-recognized leader in the area of Vision systems. We have experience with: Multi-camera systems High speed vision systems Visible, UV, and IR imaging Post placement verification Vibration isolation plays a vital role in providing a stable high accuracy platform. Our vibration isolation offerings include: Air spring mounts Variable compliance elastomeric mounts Air/torsion suspension vibration mounts Active damping system with instrumentation and controller Surpassing our customers’ expectations, we provide expert thermal designs with: Temperature controlled assembly cell and nests Kinematic mounts for high accuracy tooling and optics Material thermal properties matching Temperature compensation for laser interferometer feedback Our highly effective solutions include automatic calibration, drawing on the following toolkit: Calibration tools Machine vision NIST traceable vision reticule LVDT/load cell/laser displacement sensor Needle gauging tool Custom calibration tooling Automatic Calibration Axis error mapping Axis orthogonality calibration Tool point offsets calibration Camera scale calibration Center of rotation calibration PROCESS & ENGINEERING CAPABILITIES Delivering ultra-high accuracy systems requires a strong process knowledge base built on experience, and the right engineering skills; ATS is well equipped with these capabilities, and leverages the following tools and techniques in conjunction with our skills to deliver leading edge solutions: Force controlled placement Active force control (LVDT, load cells) Passive force control (Bearing slide, flexure, calibrated springs) Dispensing Positive displacement Time-pressure Piezo-electric Pin transfer Capillary transfer Engineering Capabilities We use Compensation Algorithms for: Thermal Expansion/Contraction Compensation Automatic Runtime Learning Routine to compensate for offset drifts We provide Thermal and Stress analysis on components for: Specific thermal responses Part distortions caused by Thermal variations Constant temperature profile across the component (e.g. preheat stage, assembly nest) Flexure Analysis Customer Component Stress Analysis FEATURE BROCHURE ATS Flexsys™ 4000 Learn More » GET IN TOUCH Customer Support Contact Us Newsletter Sign-up Worldwide Facilities Events Investor Relations INSIDE ATS Working at ATS Video Gallery Brochures Resources Recent Acquisitions Ethics at ATS CONNECT WITH US © 2014 ATS Automation Tooling Systems Inc.
