In this modern world, the demand for miniaturized components such as transducers and sensors is increasing significantly. These components have a vital role in the production of state-of-the-art micro-motion positioning and control systems. On the other hand, micro-coils are required to prepare these tiny components. Above all, the manufacturing of micro-coils involves connecting ultra-fine wires and wind the ultra-fine wire around a core. Therefore, there are significant challenges in the manufacturing process of ultra-fine wires.

The winding process of micro-coils with ultra-fine wires is a difficult job especially when there are several physical and environmental factors to influence the manufacturing process and the customers have certain demands on the expected size of the micro-coils. The ultra-strict tolerance requirements should also be followed by the micro-coils.

Therefore, you can understand from the above discussion that traditional coil winding techniques are not effective enough for the manufacturing of micro-coils. Many regular coil manufacturers do not possess the effective technology to conduct the coil winding and manufacturing process.  Therefore, if you require to have specialized micro-coils, you should always contact a specialist micro-coil manufacturer.

State-of-the-art Coil Production Techniques

Effective coil production techniques are essential to protect the insulation layer of the ultra-fine wires. Due to the tiny diameter (9 microns in diameter that is smaller than human hair) of the ultra-fine wires, it is important to handle the ultra-fine wires very carefully. The major challenge of the manufacturing process is the joining of the ultra-fine wires that is necessary for winding micro-coils.  When the traditional heat soldering methods are incapable to connect the wires due to several drawbacks such as inferior connectivity, low durability. Therefore, to solve the problems and to avoid the insulation breaking point, coil winding specialists use Thermo-Compression Bonding technology to connect the ultra-fine wires. In order to join both similar and different wires (different in diameter or material), this technology is effective.

Advantages of Thermo-Compression Bonding:

Thermo-Compression bonding technology provides several advantages to the modern-day manufacturers, such as-

  • This technology helps to diminish the noise levels.
  • Micro-compression bonding technology relieves the strain at the connections.
  • This technology makes the production process safer, and you will be free from the fear of damaging sensitive components.
  • As this technology protects the wires and connections from oxidization, therefore, you will have high reliable connections.
  • Thermo-pressure bonding technology allows the manufacturers to conduct mass production processes, therefore, the production costs also decrease.
  • The automated manufacturing process of this technology helps to eliminate human errors.

Therefore, when you are consulting specialist manufacture of micro-coils, you should consider what technologies are being used by the manufacturer.

Examples of Connections:

Thermo-compression bonding technology is effective for making several connections such as

  • In order to join ultra-fine wires with miniaturized copper thermocouples.
  • To provide connections between two metals when micro-coils get connected with a printed circuit board through thicker intermediate wires.
  • In the case of building a connection between the ultra-fine wires and the support systems through metal-plated terminals.

This technology is effective for providing highly reliable, strain-free, and corrosion-free connections. In comparison to the traditional soldering and welding methods, thermo-compression bonding technology is far more economical, therefore, it helps to decrease the overall manufacturing costs. This technology is also useful for several customer environments and you can easily implement this technology for numerous production processes. Whether you require to build long-life products such as permanent implant or disposal, this process is suitable in both cases.

Applications:

Micro-coils and the connectivity technology have several applications such as-

  • For the preparation of active implants, for instance, to control and monitor implemented pacemakers and to manufacture pain management devices for deep brain stimulation,
  • In electrophysiological treatments, electricity-based ablations, and other therapeutic applications to prepare the medical devices,
  • To prepare the orientation and navigation sensors for highly accurate ablations, stent positioning, targeted radiation catheters, endoscopic manipulation, targeted drug delivery, and implanted markers,
  • To prepare the pulse electromagnets for dental and orthopedic treatments,
  • In the field of diagnostics, micro-coils have significant usages for conducting wireless communication through building miniature sensor implants. Therefore, to measure the physiological conditions, micro-coils are useful.

With the development of modern applications, the demand for micro-coils is increasing. Therefore, if you need specialized micro-coils, you should rely on the specialist of the micro-coil manufacturing process.
