WEST•BOND MODEL 7700E SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL PRODUCT OVERVIEW An optical encoder built into the Z axis tracks the vertical tool motion in order to measure the elevation above each bond at which to initiate ball formation. To form precisely sized balls, a motor-shaft-mounted spiral cam drives the clamps to feed an exact new length, and a controlled quantity of electrical energy is discharged to the free wire end.

WEST•BOND MODEL 7700E SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAUTIONS Contained in this section are cautions to be observed during 7374E Installation and Operation. Wiring All machine wiring has common ground connected to machine chassis and continuous through the power supply, cord and cord plug. Make sure the receptacle for this plug has a good ground connection.
WEST•BOND MODEL 7700E SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAUTIONS Work Station Exercises Sometimes it is only when we take breaks at work that we realize how stiff or uncomfortable we have become from working in a seated position. When we concentrate intensely on our work, these types of discomfort often go unnoticed and therefore, we recommend the following exercise program.
WEST•BOND MODEL 7700E SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAUTIONS Micromanipulator The hand controls on your WESTBOND machine have been designed for minimal exertion of the hand and fingers. The position of the control knob is purposely set to coincide with a natural rest position of the hand (fetal position).

WEST•BOND MODEL 7700E SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL MACHINE SET-UP Bond Tool Installation The choice of bonding tools is instrumental to high quality bonding. The 7700E requires that the shank diameter of the tool be 1/16" and that the length of the tool be 0.625” or for deeper access 0.750”.
WEST•BOND MODEL 7700E SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL MACHINE SET-UP Bonding Wire Installation The 7700E is equipped with a standard 1/2" ball bearing spool mount. Slide the 1/2" spool over the spool mount such that the wire de-spools over the top (counter clock-wise when viewed from the right side).
WEST•BOND MODEL 7700E SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL OPERATION The operation of the 7700E has been specifically designed for versatile and dependable operation. The following information will allow the operator to utilize the 7700E to its full potential. This section is specifically directed at operator use.
WEST•BOND MODEL 7700E SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL OPERATION BUFFER Switch The BUFFER switch is used to change between thirty different buffers. Each of the buffers holds the bond settings and bonds per wire data for a particular wire type. Machine settings are global and are not affected by this switch.
WEST•BOND MODEL 7700E SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL OPERATION The current setting can be adjusted to a 9ma – 35.5ma range for larger balls on 1.5 – 2.0 mil wire. Jumper E1 on the mother board (Lower PCB) should be changed from pins 1-2 to 2-3 for the high power setting.
WEST•BOND MODEL 7700E SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL OPERATION After completing the first bond, gently lift the micromanipulator and move the bonding tool through the looping path. When the tool has been lifted to the programmed loop height, an additional beep will be heard.
WEST•BOND MODEL 7700E SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL PROGRAMMING The following pages demonstrate the expected displays and programmable options of the 7700E. The programmable features are broken into two sections. One section is called “BOND BUFFER SETTINGS” and the other section is called “MACHINE SETTINGS.”...
