Zmation,
Inc Announces
Fiber Optic Hermetic Tube Sealing System
Portland,
OR, USA---Zmation, Inc. announced today that they have shipped and
installed a Fiber optic Hermetic Tube Sealing system at a major photonics
component manufacturer’s facility. This system will be used to hermetically fill
the tube used for fiber insertion into in a wide variety of photonic packages.
This semi-automated system allows easy operator
loading of a photonic component package with fiber pigtail attached. The system
positions a solder dispensing head above the fiber tube and dispenses a
predetermined amount of fluxless solder into the tube to produce a hermetic
seal. The process required closed loop heating of the solder tube, precisely
controlled solder flow rates, good volumetric control, and an understanding of
the fluid dynamics that occurs during sealing. The system utilizes commercially
available motion and soldering technologies to provide production reliability
and future serviceability. The customer’s process engineer stated, “This system
has incorporated the process experience gained in our manual operations and will
allow for semi-automated operation and vast improvements in reliability and
production throughput.”
Zmation, Inc. is a supplier of “turn-key”
process systems to the photonics, electronics, semiconductor, computer
peripherals, and medical device industries. Zmation, Inc. has extensive
experience in process engineering, systems integration, machine vision, motion
control technology, and advanced industrial software. Zmation has received
Approved System Integrator status from a wide variety of manufacturers. This
