The Besi Fico Compact Line-P, also known as the FCL-P, is a modular trim and form system developed for power semiconductor products. Depending on its installed configuration, the line can combine leadframe loading, trimming, forming, marking, separation and device sorting within one production setup.
Are you considering the FCL-P as a replacement for an existing machine or for another package? Send your current equipment model, a clear product or leadframe photo and a short description of the required process. We can review the basic direction first and continue with detailed tooling checks only when necessary.

FCL-P Compatibility with Your Product
The model specification gives a general processing range, but actual compatibility depends on the installed trim and form tool, leadframe layout, package design and required output format.
For the first inquiry, you can send:
- The model of the machine currently used, if the FCL-P will replace existing equipment
- A clear photo of the semiconductor package, strip or leadframe
- A short explanation of the required trimming, forming, separation or sorting process
- Photos of the current tool or finished product where available
Detailed package drawings, lead dimensions and tooling information can be discussed later when the available machine appears relevant to the project.
Model Capabilities and Available Modules
The FCL-P is designed as a modular production line. Besi lists several loader, press, marking and output modules for the model, but the actual modules installed on a pre-owned machine must be confirmed individually.
- Magazine or cassette-based leadframe loading
- Power press module with interchangeable trim and form tooling
- Vision inspection for leadframe identification, orientation and product inspection
- Laser marking where the marking module is installed
- Separator-to-sorter and device-sorting modules where included
- Magazine, tray, bulk or tube output according to the selected offloader
Functions such as automatic tool identification, product-orientation correction, tube identification, ionization and SECS/GEM depend on the selected configuration or installed options.
Available Machine Configuration and Delivery Scope
A pre-owned Compact Line-P may have been configured for a particular leadframe and package. The installed loader, press modules, tooling, inspection units, marking system and output equipment may therefore differ between machines.
The actual configuration will be checked according to the specific unit available. Only the machine modules, tools, cables and accessories listed in the quotation or confirmed delivery list are included.
Trim and form tools, magazines, tubes, trays, laser-marking equipment, sorting modules, computers and external production equipment should not be assumed to be included unless they are specifically stated.
Receiving and Initial Machine Inspection
Complete a receiving inspection before installation or power-on.
- Inspect the packing, machine frames, control unit, press modules, covers and visible transport mechanisms.
- Photograph any impact marks, loose components, shifted assemblies or damaged cables before moving the equipment.
- Compare the delivered modules, tools and accessories with the confirmed delivery list.
- Check that the installed trim and form tools are secured and have not moved during transportation.
- Confirm the electrical supply, grounding and compressed-air requirements from the actual machine nameplate and configuration.
Any transport damage or missing item should be recorded before the line is installed, modified or powered on.
Startup and Dry-Cycle Testing
The first startup should confirm the basic condition of the line before leadframes or packaged devices are introduced.
- Start the control system and record any alarm messages before resetting the equipment or changing parameters.
- Confirm that the installed modules complete initialization and return to their correct starting positions.
- Run a dry cycle without loading production leadframes.
- Observe the loader, transport system, press movement, sensors and output modules throughout the cycle.
- Check for abnormal noise, unstable movement, mechanical interference, air leakage or repeated alarms.
- Stop the test if the press, tooling or transport mechanism does not operate normally.
Guards and safety devices should remain in position during operation, and press-area inspection should only be carried out after the machine has been made safe by qualified personnel.
Leadframe and Sample Production Test
After the dry cycle is stable, use suitable non-production leadframes or samples that match the installed tooling.
- Confirm the leadframe orientation and loading position before starting the cycle.
- Observe strip feeding, positioning and transfer into the press tool.
- Check whether trimming, forming and separation occur at the intended locations.
- Inspect the finished parts for incomplete cuts, burrs, lead deformation, cracks, scratches or package damage.
- Where marking or sorting modules are installed, confirm that the product reaches the correct downstream position.
- Repeat several cycles to identify intermittent feeding, tooling, sensor or output problems.
One successful stroke is not enough to confirm production readiness. The machine should repeat the full loading, pressing and output sequence without recurring alarms, jams or inconsistent product results.
Process Problems, Alarms and Repair Support
Incomplete trimming, inconsistent lead forming, product jams or repeated alarms may involve the leadframe condition, installed tool, press setup, transport mechanism, sensors, pneumatic system or machine parameters.
Stop operation if products are being damaged, the tool does not close correctly, transport parts interfere or the same alarm repeatedly returns. Record the alarm message and affected process stage before resetting the machine.
Send the machine model, alarm-screen photo, product or leadframe image, tool photo and a short video of the failed cycle where available. Our team can assist with an initial fault review and help determine whether tooling, adjustment, replacement parts or further repair work should be considered.
Besi Fico Tooling and Replacement Parts Support
Trim and form performance depends heavily on the condition and suitability of the installed tool. Worn cutting parts, incorrect tool setup or a tool designed for another leadframe may affect cut quality, lead position and production stability.
We can assist with initial tooling comparison, component identification and checking related mechanical, pneumatic or electronic replacement parts where available.
Support may involve trim and form tools, wear parts, sensors, motors, drivers, boards, cables, pneumatic components and transport assemblies. The suitable next step depends on the actual machine configuration and identified problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Fico Compact Line-P process our semiconductor package?
This depends on the leadframe, package dimensions, required trim and form result, and the tool installed on the available machine. Send a product or leadframe photo for an initial review.
Is a trim and form tool included with the machine?
Only tools specifically listed in the quotation or confirmed delivery scope are included. A tool supplied with the machine may also have been designed for a particular product.
Which loader and offloader modules are installed?
The Compact Line-P supports several loading and output configurations. The actual modules on the available machine will be confirmed according to the specific unit.
Is the machine ready for immediate production?
Production readiness should be confirmed through installation, dry-cycle testing, tool inspection and repeated processing of suitable samples.
Can you assist if the machine has an alarm or trim and form problem?
Yes. Send the machine model, alarm information, product and tool photos, and an operating video where available. We can assist with initial fault review, parts matching and repair discussion.
