摘要:
A system and method to control the head suspension assembly static attitude during the manufacturing process are disclosed. A loading fixture loads and supports a head suspension while a slider is attached. A pitch static attitude and roll static attitude (PSA/RSA) monitor takes a first measurement of the pitch static attitude and roll static attitude of the head suspension. A rotatable positioning tool holds the slider in a position relative to the head suspension for attachment and to adjust the position of the slider in response to the first measurement.
摘要:
A method to salvage suspensions from defective head gimbal assembly units is presented. Because the performance of a slider becomes more sensitive to signals and the wafer manufacturing process produces a lower yield, a suspension salvage method is developed to recycle a damaged head gimbal assembly in order to minimize material loss. In one embodiment, the salvage method includes separating a gold ball from a bonding pad of the suspension, twisting off the slider attached to the suspension, and dissolving the remaining epoxy.
