| Abstract | Head Gimbal Assembly process is the process that as semble slider and suspension altogether. The current production is the semi-auto matic system that compose of automatic process station connect side by side but still requ ire manual handling from station to station. The improvement of throughput per space can be deve loped by developing the faster stream line system with fully automatic operation and make the station smaller for productivity benefit Adhesive curing station is one of the station that consume larger area and manual operating process. The current manual operation by human carrying many parts in and out of this station is not possible to make it turn to be stream line especially its long curing cycle time. To make the fully automation and stream line success, the development of the fast cure station is very important. The study will target to develop the curing statio n that can be fit into the fully automation system. This thesis suggest solution by changing the large space consuming, manual operation, and long curing cycle time to be the fast curing station that consume smaller floor space. The system should be compact a nd significantly short curing cycle time. The study will mainly on the experiment to evaluate the recipe of fast curing and its result on pull strength and other related effect. The final p art of this study will review o key component, light source, to be selected for effecti ve fast curing in quality, productivity. |
