Helia Photonics: the ultimate innovators in thin film optical coatings

Automated Bar Handling

Helia’s proprietary HELBOT platform automatically stacks and transfers

even the most delicate laser diode bars

Helia’s HELBOT system was fully developed in-house to provide a high-yield solution for coatings on sub-500µm-width and/or fragile laser diode bars where standard handling processes are difficult. Its ultra-high accuracy SCARA arm uses a range of vacuum tips with constant vision and sensor feedback to pick up, stack/unstack, and place small cavity-length bars with sub-mN force. Handled bars or individual devices are ID-tracked and can be positioned with µm-level accuracy into carriers for shipping or for further processing at Helia.

Individual bars can be automatically detected, stacked in & unstacked from coating jigs, and transferred to waffletrays, gel-paks, or blue tape with 10µm placing accuracy and full ID traceability.
