Ingemar,
The wheels are turning over here too. Will keep you posted.
Best of luck in the fresh attempt at revival of the machine. Hopefully
you have a manual to refer to.
You might start to put down on 'paper' a list of items that you
encounter, or think are problems, should we be able to find someone
able/willing to provide some on-line assistance.
Just remember, that all three of you do not have to sit on the heat
column at the same time. Yes, I know the machine is huge, but please do
not put all the fat in the frying pan at once! :-)
I can drool over the stuff that I could get done with a CBT6000 ....
Steve

Steve the Triker,
thanks for your kind attention to my problem. I've got green light to
give
it a try, so I'll gather a test engineering specialist, a software guy
and
myself, and we will see what specifically is a problem. If we don't make
it,
I'll buy the machine for 1 USD and take it home. Something for dark
winter
evenings. CBT6000 and it's subsequents is said to be the best wire
bonder,
so I will try hard to make it live again. Problem is weight = three Fat
Boys.

Ingemar,
Steve C here. Such a waste to toss out a large area ball bonder such as
the CBT6000.
Wish that I could tell you that there was interest in it here, but there
is not.
Could timely support have been a problem way over the pond in the
Sweden? Palomar is still in business ... right? Would they buy it back
from you for a percentage of what you paid for it??
I could create room for it in my garage, but shipping would be a
blinger. The wife would likely make me sleep out there with it! At
least I would have the heaters to keep me warm as the weather begins to
cool down
Never had the opportunity to play with a 6000, but let me do some
checking.
I am going to copy my response [in the background] to a Manufacturers
Rep that used to represent Palomar. He has been around the industry for
a while and is sharp. Maybe he will know of someone that is looking for
a machine, or knows of someone that can help. It is worth a try in any
event. Will let him contact you directly, if he can help.
I will get back to you 'off-net' with details if I can find someone with
knowledge. Don't quite remember if CTS got a 6000 towards the end or
not.

Hi all,
Anyone who knows about wirebonder CBT6000 from Palomar? We have a 6
years old autobonder, has never been used because of poor business
relations visavi Palomar, and also because of incorrect engineering at
our company. Amateurship on both sides, as it seems. The machine cost a
fortune at that time. I'm now wondering if anyone out there got such a
machine and if same person knows about spare parts and troubleshooting
etc. Palomar are not interested any more. Last chance for the machine.
If there are no reasonable ways to get the machine working again, we
will dump it in the container for melting (an enormous steel
construction for making 25um wires to stick on a little substrate!)
