Allied High Tech, Rancho Dominguez, Calif., introduces the X-Prep, a specialized five-axis CNC-based milling/grinding/polishing machine designed to support electrical and physical failure analysis techniques requiring high precision sample preparation.
It features a wizard-based, user-friendly, intuitive interface that guides the operator through a screen sequence. As each screen appears, instruction is provided to the operator, ensuring every parameter and function is defined before operation. Help buttons on each screen provide access to additional explanation and instruction.
A high-definition (720p) color camera projects a magnified, razor-sharp image of the sample onto the touch screen to help the operator define the X/Y milling/grinding/polishing boundary.
Automatic tilt adjustment levels the sample plane parallel to the X/Y plane of the cutting tool. Unevenly mounted or tilted samples can easily be leveled using this functionality.
A variety of fixtures and accessories is available to accommodate various sample types and sizes.
Now with 3D capability, the X-Prep® allows thinning of non-flat/warped silicon and other substrates with excellent accuracy. It has been engineered with advanced components and technology to deliver sophisticated, precise results.
