The ASMPT AD838L is a pre-owned automatic die bonder used for automated die pickup, positioning and placement in compatible semiconductor and optoelectronic packaging processes. The actual bonding setup, material-handling configuration and installed tooling depend on the specific machine available.
For an initial inquiry, send your current machine model, clear photos of the die and substrate, and a short description of the bonding process or equipment problem. We can review the basic requirement first and continue with detailed matching only when necessary.

Die Attach Process Compatibility
The availability of an AD838L does not automatically confirm that it can run every die, substrate or package. Compatibility depends on the product format, die dimensions, substrate handling, attach material, installed bond tools and required placement result.
Only basic information is needed for the first discussion:
- Your current die-bonder model, if the AD838L will replace existing equipment
- Clear photos of the die, substrate, panel or finished product
- A photo of the current collet, ejector tool or fixture where available
- A short description of the die-attach requirement or current production problem
Detailed drawings, material information, tooling data and process settings can be discussed later when the available machine appears relevant to the project.
Available Configuration and Delivery Scope
A pre-owned AD838L may have been configured for a particular die, substrate or production line. Its wafer handling, substrate transport, dispensing components, vision system, bond head and product tooling may therefore differ from another machine of the same model.
The available machine and included items will be confirmed according to the actual unit. Only the equipment, tools, fixtures, cables and accessories listed in the quotation or confirmed delivery list are included.
Wafer loaders, feeders, dispensing units, collets, ejector tools, fixtures, computers and external production equipment should not be assumed to be included unless they are specifically stated.
Receiving, Startup and Initial Bonding Check
The machine should be inspected and tested in stages before valuable wafers, dies or substrates are introduced.
- Inspect the packing, machine cabinet, control panel, bond-head area, wafer section and substrate-handling mechanisms.
- Photograph any impact marks, loose components, damaged cables or displaced assemblies before moving the machine.
- Compare the received machine, tooling, fixtures and accessories with the confirmed delivery list.
- Confirm the electrical supply, grounding, compressed air, vacuum and other facility requirements of the actual machine.
- Start the controller and record any alarm messages before resetting the system or changing parameters.
- Confirm that the machine completes initialization and returns its mechanisms to the correct home positions.
- Run a dry cycle without production dies or substrates and observe pickup, transfer, alignment and placement movement.
- After the dry cycle is stable, use suitable non-production samples that match the installed tooling.
- Inspect die pickup, alignment, placement position and substrate transfer during several repeated cycles.
Stop testing if the bond head, ejector, wafer stage or material-handling mechanisms move abnormally, interfere with other components or repeatedly generate alarms.
Bonding Results, Fault Review and Parts Support
Mis-pick, dropped dies, die shift, unstable placement, substrate-positioning errors or repeated alarms may involve the collet, ejector system, vacuum, vision alignment, tooling, sensors, motion components or machine parameters.
If dispensing components are installed, unstable adhesive volume, dispensing position or material flow may also affect the final bonding result. The actual cause should be reviewed before changing multiple parameters or replacing parts.
Record the alarm message, operating step and visible symptoms before resetting the machine. Photos of the die, substrate, tooling, machine screen and affected mechanism, together with a short operating video where available, can support an initial fault review.
Our team can assist with preliminary fault analysis, component identification and replacement-part matching. Related collets, ejector components, fixtures, sensors, motors, drivers, boards, cables, pneumatic parts and material-handling assemblies can also be checked where available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the ASMPT AD838L process our die and substrate?
This depends on the die, substrate, attach method, installed tooling and actual machine configuration. Send product photos and your current machine model for an initial review.
Does the AD838L support flip-chip bonding?
Flip-chip capability should be confirmed from the actual machine configuration. It should not be assumed from newer AD838L-series versions or the model name alone.
Are the wafer loader and bonding tools included?
Only loaders, collets, ejector tools, fixtures and accessories specifically listed in the quotation or confirmed delivery scope are included.
Is the used AD838L ready for immediate production?
Production readiness should be confirmed through installation, initialization, dry-cycle testing, tooling checks and repeated bonding trials with suitable samples.
Can you assist if the machine has an alarm or placement problem?
Yes. Send the machine model, alarm information, die and substrate photos, tooling photos and an operating video where available. We can assist with initial fault review, parts matching and repair discussion.
