Semi-Automatic Wafer Grinder
The semi-automatic grinder features a more compact body design and is typically used in laboratory and light production line scenarios. The grinding center serves as the core unit for all grinder series, employing a frame made of granite material. Coupled with our independently developed high-power air bearing spindle and unique stroke mechanism, the machine can deliver high-quality surface results and precision.
Engineering Intents
Laboratory-friendly equipment size
Cast iron and marble combined machine body
Configurable with either a high-precision mechanical spindle or an aerostatic grinding spindle
Spindles of different power are configured for different materials
The worktable can clamp up to 3 different sizes of wafers
High stability enables a minimum grinding thickness of 5 micrometer

Features
1. Microporous Ceramic Chuck Table
The ceramic material, sintered at high temperatures, forms uniform “ant-nest” structures for even vacuum force distribution, preventing wafer damage. It is 11.8% stronger than similar ceramics and integrated with the worktable’s sealing module for enhanced precision and stability. Learn More
2. DYAN-X Control Software
DYAN-X is a human-machine interface (HMI) control software designed specifically for the Wafering Series, based on the Windows operating system. The software features an intuitive and straightforward design, enabling users to quickly understand and easily operate the system. Learn More
3. Air Bearing Spindle (Optional)
The air bearing grinding spindle uses dry, clean air through microporous layers to support the rotor shaft against the stator, enabling fast, smooth rotation without contact, ensuring exceptional accuracy and stability. Learn More
4. In-Machine Thickness Gauges
A high-precision thickness gauge ensures consistent grinding precision and accurate offset measurements for wheel wear. PONDA offers three options for monitoring wafer thickness under various grinding conditions. Learn More
Off Process Contact Gauge (OCG)
In Process Contact Gauge (ICG) (Optional)
In Process Non-Contact Gauge (ING) (Optional)
5. Acoustic Emission (Optional)
A built-in Acoustic Emission (AE) system in a grinding spindle is a sophisticated in-process monitoring tool that detects high-frequency sounds produced during the grinding process. Learn More
6. TAIKO Grinding (Optional)
After the TAIKO grinding process, the raised ring on the wafer’s back acts like a frame, reducing warpage and enhancing structural strength. Even with a wafer thickness as thin as 40 µm, operators can handle it by the ring without damage. Learn More
