Abstract
An ultrasonic wobble-bonding apparatus for bonding leads of lead frames has a bonding tool attached to a support member which is mounted on a double axis pivot or trunnion, the pivot or trunnion in turn mounted on a sector bearing. The interception of the two axis is on a center common with the active surface of the bonding tool, the active surface being concave. The tool is moved about the two axes in a predetermined manner such that the common center on the active surface -- which is also the contact position between tool and lead frames -- follows a predetermined path on the active surface. The pivot and sector bearing are displaced from the bonding tool to leave a clear working space -- particularly useful for automatic bonding of leads of lead frames arranged in long strips or coils.
