VIRTUAL WVE-9000 Vacuum Tweezer ESD Safe User Guide
Operation of the WAFER-VACTM WVE-9000
-
Insure that the replaceable filter housing has a filter installed and is snuggly tightened to insure no vacuum leaks. Turning clockwise tightens. Connect one end of the vacuum hose to the barb fitting on the filter housing and the other end to the barb on the VACUUM PENTM handle that has the push button.
-
Select a wafer tip that is smaller in diameter to the outline of the substrate that you want to pick and place. Securely install it on the press-fit end of the vacuum handle. Selecting a vacuum tip that is too large or too small will result in improper operation.
-
Connect the 3 wire WVE-9000 power cord to input power. Turn the ON OFF switch to the on position.
-
To pick and place a part:
a. Gently place the wafer tip on top of the part that you wish to pick up. The part should now be firmly grasped by the wafer tip.
b. Now move the part to where want it. To release the part simply depress the button with your finger, the part should now be released and the display bars will indicate the reduced vacuum level.
c. To release the part simply depress the vacuum interrupter button with your finger, the part should now be released. -
Remember to turn the unit off when you are finished.
