ASMPT Introduces AERO PRO High-Performance Wire Bonder
July 9, 2025 | ASMPTEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
ASMPT, the world’s leading provider of hardware and software solutions for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, introduces its latest high-performance wire bonder: the AERO PRO. Developed for high-density semiconductor designs, the AERO PRO delivers the highest bonding accuracy and exceptional speed for wires with diameters of 0.5 mil (≈12.7 µm). Thanks to integrated real-time monitoring and preventive maintenance functions, the system is ideally suited for use in intelligent, networked production environments.
Mobile devices, the automobile industry, medical technology, 5G/6G communication and industrial electronics require ever more compact and powerful systems, which in turn need high-precision wire connections in minimal space. To accommodate complex designs such as system-in-package (SiP) and multi-chip modules (MCMs) as well as applications like ball grid arrays (BGAs), land grid arrays (LGAs), memory modules or quad flat packages (QFPs) with external leads, the AERO PRO supports mixed-wire bonding. The versatile machine processes wires with diameters ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 mil (≈12.7 to 50.8 µm) and lengths ranging from 0.2 to 8.0 mm – ideal for fine-pitch bonding on high-density substrates measuring up to 105 × 300 mm.
Optimized for precise bonding processes
For uniform 22-µm bond balls, the AERO PRO employs the innovative and patented X-POWER 2.0 transducer (“AEROducer”), a newly developed lightweight and vibration-optimized ultrasonic transducer made of composite materials that transfers the energy with great precision in X and Y directions. The mechanism of the XY table is designed for maximum stability and durability. It features software-supported calibrations, including a precisely controlled, friction-free wire clamp, and is optimized for greater bond cycles without compromising quality.
Intelligent automation
The AERO PRO supports AI-supported setups and process monitoring with the AERO EYE real-time monitoring system, AERO Diagnostics, and AERO Predictive Maintenance for performance forecasting. The continuous monitoring of quality and maintenance requirements increases both yield and operational efficiency. The AERO PRO is fully automation-capable and can be seamlessly integrated into automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems, rail-guided vehicle (RGV) systems, ceiling conveyor (OHT) systems, and manufacturing execution systems (MES).
More performance in a smaller footprint
The new wire bonder from ASMPT also impresses with its high efficiency in terms of space and resource requirements. Thanks to various improvements, the production output per unit area (UPH/floor space) has increased by 38% compared to the previous model. At the same time, the consumption of CDA (clean dry air) has been reduced by 40 liters per minute – a significant contribution to reducing operating costs and sustainability on the factory floor.
