Paragon™ Software

Nordson TEST & INSPECTION's next generation bond testing Paragon™ Software

Overview


Its highly intuitive and configurable interface provides quick and easy access to advanced functionality, such as automatic GR&R calculation, built-in diagnostics, a unique database search engine wizard and superior reporting; increasing efficiency and providing 100% confidence in your bond testing results.           

Quick and Easy to Use
Paragon™ is designed using an efficient tab-based layout. Everything is easily accessible from a single layout with test settings fixed to a left hand column. An easy to access tool bar is available for the most commonly used features. Save, print, turn lights on, and even null the tool with a single click!

Training new operators is straightforward and follows a linear workflow. Paragon’s intuitive design ensures test set-up parameters are easily accessible with the start-up check list enabling a quick start. Its possible to have several access modes to allow setting modifications on-the-fly or if required, lock functionality so that operators can only access pre-saved test patterns.

High Accuracy and Repeatability

Intelligent System Monitoring


All aspects of the system are regularly monitored including life tests on the tool, load cartridge and calibration jig, health checks, calibration status and cartridge initialization. These checks, with automatic alerts, maximize uptime and provide confidence in your test data and ultimately your product quality. System information provided by Paragon’s built-in diagnostics is delivered via dialogue boxes using clear and simple instructions. This approach enables operators to quickly resolve any issues.

Image Capture for Advanced Analysis

Flexible Analysis and Reporting


Data Analysis
Paragon provides an incredibly flexible analysis suite suitable for the most demanding of applications including: 

  • On-board statistics and Statistical Process Control (SPC) package complete with histogram distribution curves  (mean and current samples)
  • Force trend analysis (with box whisker and optional mini histogram on the same chart)
  • Grade pareto 
  • Loop height trend analysis Force/time displacement curves
  • All combined with a powerful statistical results display, for 
    mean, maximum and minimum range, standard deviation, 
    mean – 3s, Cpk and Cp

Efficient Testing


Test Automation
The testing of a complete row of bonds on one device/lead frame or several devices in a hybrid package is a simple process with Paragon. 

When testing a row of bonds on one device the operator can pre-program the amount of test points (bonds) with their positions and the pitch to automatically test every 
bond in the row. This process is simply repeated for each new device being tested. With several devices with different applications in a hybrid package the system automatically moves from device to device and will advise the operator when to change the load cartridge for each application. The test patterns are stored with images enabling the operator to select a test pattern based on an image of the device.

New Standard of Advanced Automation

Paragon™ Automation allows you to view your automation pattern on one screen and see locations of  wires, bumps and die simultaneously.

 Wire pull animations show test order, test type and offsets to the user at the click of a button. Edit your test pattern offline and watch it complete before running it for real on the bondtester.


Matrix Automation Testing


Large lead frames can have complex patterns with thousands of tests positions. In Paragon™, supervisors only need to programme one single device:

One Single Device


The operator then enters the lead frame spacing and then double clicks the devices to create the entire pattern. These can be multi-level devices with several fiducial markers, yet engineers only program a single device on the frame which is extrapolated to fit any device arrangement of frames and components. This is called the Device Matrix feature.
