The West Bond 747677 model has been set up as an ultrasonic 45-degree wedge bonder.  The ultrasonic energy and downward force attaches a 0.001” aluminum wire at room temperature.  The wire is clamped and threaded diagonally under the bonding wedge, allowing independent feeding action but requiring front-to-back bonding direction.  The tool is guided manually by the operator and uses a stereoscope and hand/eye reference to bond targets and elevations.
