Colibri Air-Bearing Dicing Spindles

adt4COMPACT—FLEXIBLE—RELIABLE

Colibri air-bearing dicing spindles perform in dicing environments at high speeds with minimum vibrations and low run-out for the long term;
providing high quality dicing applications for soft and hard materials. 

Spindles are equipped with a DC brushless motor at a range of 1.2kW to 2.5kW, for a variety of applications.
RMN Models are equipped with an integral shaft-lock feature, to support twin-spindle machine configuration.

Featured Spindle Models

RMN

The RMN is an especially compact solution that offers a range of power options:
1.2 / 1.8 / 2.4 kW, 60 krpm — all in one spindle.

Exclusive ON/OFF brushes increase brush life by 1000%
Brushes touch spindle shaft only when needed!

Other features include:

  • Flexible motor type: 1.2 / 1.8 / 2.4 kW, 60 krpm motor selection – all in one spindle housing
  • Exceptionally short housing, ideal for compact dicing systems – both single and face-to-face spindle positioning
  • Top spindle mounting (Gantry) – enhanced structure rigidity
  • Improved air-bearing design – higher load capacity and rotor stiffness
  • Better air labyrinth at the spindle front – prevents dirt penetration
  • Integral shaft lock for easy blade replacement
  • Removable wheel mount can be dismounted/exchanged by operator for both hub and hub-less blades

SHA-A

The SHA-A model is the largest spindle of the Colibri Dicing Spindles product family. It was designed for heavy-duty dicing application of hard materials, such as thick ceramics, glass, sapphires, TIC and others. Owing to its ability to support a large blade diameter, the spindle is also used for dicing passive components.

SHA-B

The SHA-B spindle model was developed for heavy-duty package Singulation applications with extremely high throughput and large blade diameter. As this spindle provides significantly higher rotor stiffness and load capacity as compare with the smaller spindles in the family, it would be very suitable for processing BGA, QFN, LTCC and similar materials at high feed rate.
