BPM Microsystems 3901 Automated Programming System using WhisperTeach™
WhisperTeach™ is BPM’s patented technology that “teaches” the critical z-coordinate to precisely pick and place devices to and from locations while operating an automated programmer. It eliminates the need for a highly-skilled operator to set critical Z-height for pick-and-place functions. WhisperTeach™ offers a faster set up times and improved yields. WhisperTeach™ eliminates common Z-height errors such as miss picks, miss place, and socket continuity flaws.
Challenge
Very small devices such as WLCSP, SOT, DFN have very low mass. When teaching Z with a vacuum, the suction causes the part to jump up to the nozzle, increasing the possibility of an inaccurate Z teach elevation. Because automated systems are extremely consistent, a less-than-perfect teach may cause pick and place errors, dropped parts, cracked parts, and continuity errors.

We had part “deaux” of our company-wide “Half-Happy Hour” where about 18 folks (had a few pop in and out) got to relax, kick their feet up for a bit, and perhaps sip on something tall and cool. Rather than a trivia party, we talked about what we wanted to be when we were in the 5th grade (Veterinarians were popular, one hobo (thankfully a dream deferred), and a few unfulfilled sports stars. Only one batman). Sai conferenced in from India where it was about 2am… and we learned that Charlie has “about 42 beer steins.” Many of us shared good things to come out of our current health crisis– such as saving money on gas, or shorter commutes for those still coming into the office. Spending more quality time with family was popular.
