We supply refurbished ASM AD838 fully automatic epoxy die bonders. This pre-owned equipment has undergone a comprehensive internal rebuild and testing process, making it ready for immediate use in high-density leadframe epoxy die bonding applications. The ASM AD838 is a production-proven system featuring ASM’s patented bond head architecture, integrated vision alignment, and flexible substrate handling. It supports optional dual-epoxy dispensing and accommodates leadframes up to 4 inches wide, supporting mainstream packages such as QFN, TQFP, PLCC, TSSOP, TSOP, SOIC, and SOT.
Our AD838 units undergo a standardized refurbishment process that includes mechanical overhauls, linear motion checks, vision system calibration, epoxy dispensing verification, and replacement of vacuum and nozzle systems, followed by rigorous dry-run and production simulation tests. Before shipment, the equipment is cleaned and re-certified, with a test report included. This solution mitigates the risks typically associated with used die bonding equipment, offering a cost-effective alternative for packaging manufacturers to meet medium-to-high volume production needs without the expense of purchasing new machinery.

Refurbishment & Quality Assurance
This is not an “as-is” used machine. Our refurbishment scope covers:
Complete teardown, cleaning and inspection of all mechanical assemblies
Servo, linear stage and bond head wear part replacement
Vision camera, lighting and pattern recognition calibration
Vacuum path, ejector and nozzle holder overhaul
Epoxy dispensing pump and fluid path inspection and rebuild
Full functional test, recipe run and bonding quality verification
Documentation including test log, replaced parts list and machine manual
We can tailor the scope to match your process requirements: upgrade vision, add dual dispense, or replace spare nozzle kits as part of the package.
