Adept Technology Previews Photonics Assembly Solutions At Fiber Optic Industry Conference.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 2001 Epoxy epoxy Any of a class of thermosetting polymers, polyethers built up from monomers with an ether group that takes the form of a three-membered epoxide ring. The familiar two-part epoxy adhesives consist of a resin with epoxide rings at the ends of its molecules and a curing Bonding and Laser Welding Laser welding Welding with a laser beam. The primary apparatus is the continuous-wave, convectively cooled CO2 laser with either oscillator/amplifier (gaussian output beam) or unstable resonator (hollows output beam) optics. Machines Integrate Adept Controls, Precision Stages and Sensing Adept Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADTK), a leading manufacturer of flexible automation for the fiber optic, telecommunications and semiconductor industries, today announced the preview of two automated photonic Dealing with light (photons). See photon and photonics. component assembly systems at the Adept Fiber Optic Assembly Conference in Livermore, Calif. Adept's initial offerings will provide customers with integrated controls, stages and instruments designed to provide complete epoxy bonding and laser welding applications solutions. Typical processes will include initial alignment, bonding and Adept PowerServo closed loop dynamic control during the cure cycle. "Adept is the first to offer photonics assembly solutions that combine superior alignment stage technology, powerful and configurable process control software and efficient ergonomic ergonomic - Concerning ergonomics or exhibitting good ergonimics. design in one process ready integrated platform," said Joe Campbell, vice president of marketing for Adept Technology. "Photonics manufacturers are demanding standard assembly automation machines to maximize yield and quality as they ramp up Ramp Up To increase a company's operations in anticipation of increased demand. Notes: A company might 'ramp up' operations if they just signed a contract creating substantially more demand for their product. See also: Demand, Economies of Scale production capacity." Adept's semi-automatic epoxy bonding system provides photonics manufacturers with a standard integrated platform for alignment, bonding and inline test of a variety of active and passive components. Adept's epoxy bonding system maximizes component quality and production yields through unique design features and intelligent algorithms that are designed to minimize alignment and bonding cycle times and maintain maximum coupling efficiency throughout the bonding process. Adept's semi-automatic laser welding system provides manufacturers with the next generation of laser welding technology and performance. Adept's laser welding system offers superior laser delivery and alignment technology incorporated in a factory-proven design. Adept's laser welding system provides a new level of automation and part quality in a manually loaded system by applying vision-guided laser positioning, fast and intelligent pre- and post-bond alignment algorithms and a single tightly integrated controls platform. With these advanced features combined in a single system, Adept's laser welding solutions are designed to provide customers with a powerful and reliable solution for photonics component assembly. The Adept Fiber Optic Assembly Conference starts today and is being held in Pleasanton and Livermore, Calif. The conference will conclude with a tour of Adept's new technology center in Livermore, Calif. and demonstrations of their new epoxy bonding and laser welding systems. Adept Technology designs, manufactures and markets factory automation components and systems for the fiber optic, telecommunications, semiconductor, automotive, food and durable goods durable goods Goods, such as appliances and automobiles, that have a useful life over a number of periods. Firms that produce durable goods are often subject to wide fluctuations in sales and profits. Also called consumer durables. industries throughout the world. Adept's robots, controllers, and software products are used for small parts assembly, material handling and ultra precision process applications. Our intelligent automation product lines include industrial robots, configurable linear modules, flexible feeders, semiconductor process components, nanopositioners, machine controllers for robot mechanisms and other flexible automation equipment, machine vision, systems and software, application software, and simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. .
