In a recent evaluation conducted by a renowned automotive device packaging OEM, MPP’s Heavy Wire Wedge (HWW) for 12-mil wire delivered exceptional results in boosting Mean Time Between Assists (MTBA) and enhancing overall productivity. Previously, the customer had to clean the aluminum buildup from the bonding tool every 20,000 to 30,000 bonds, which disrupted operations and impacted efficiency.

To address this issue, Micro Point Pro (MPP) provided a wedge with a specialized tip coating, tailored to enhance bonding performance. This upgrade allowed the customer to achieve over 700,000 consecutive bonds—an improvement of more than 25 times the previous process—while maintaining high bond quality.

Moreover, the need for frequent cleaning and wedge replacement was eliminated, resulting in substantial reductions in manufacturing resources and a significant boost in productivity. This, in turn, led to overall cost savings.

Key Benefits:

  • Drastically increased MTBA (Mean Time Between Assists)
  • Significant improvement in productivity
  • Lower cost per bond achieved
  • Seamless integration with the existing bonding process (“drop-in” replacement)
