The MacroAce is a very large capacity dicing machine for heavy duty single and multiple blade applications. A work capacity of 400 x 250 x 100 mm enables diced or slotted features to be machined on the top of thick assemblies.
To provide all the features expected in a standard dicing machine Loadpoint have fitted their Nano control system, used on the successful NanoAce machine, to the MacroAce structure. This provides a highly flexible programming capability with Z control, using the Loadpoint contact height sensing system, and a full screen camera image based alignment system. The Y and Z axes are controlled by linear encoders in 1 micron increments.
The well proven quick change arbor system enable blades from 76.2 to 180 mm diameter to be fitted for dicing and sawing as well as giving the capability to fit grinding wheels for surface grinding applications. A multiple blade capability is available for suitable applications.
A large capacity rotary table is available for theta rotation and this can be linked to the NanoControl for automatic cutting routines. Work holding systems available include vacuum and magnetic chucks with vices and single or two axis goniometers as required.
Totally enclosing coolant screens are fitted with a port for coolant mist to be ducted into an extraction system. Re-circulating coolant systems based on paper or magnetic drums can be supplied.
The MacroAce is a major step in the machining of ferroelectric applications as it provides all the features required for research, development and production in this rapidly expanding market.
