Abstract
A wire bonding machine for wedge bonding fine wires to semiconductor devices is provided with a rotating bonding head which is mounted on a fixed machine frame and having a X-Y table mounted on the fixed machine frame opposite a vertically movable bonding tool mounted on the rotating bonding head. The bonding head is provided with means for articulating the bonding tool in a vertical direction and in a rotational direction. The rotational movement of the novel bonding head does not impart vertical movement to the bonding tool.
