From our conception, Colibri has been active in research and development and manufacturing of automated equipment for the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) industry. We have amassed valuable HDD production knowledge and technology that enables us to understand the specific requirements necessary to ensure high quality production. 

For example, some of the methods we use to control quality of production are:

      • Contamination control

      • ESD

      • EMC/EMI control

      • Class 10 /100 clean room environment

In addition, we can also customized machines based on customer needs, for example:

      • Gram load adjustment and measurement system

      • Pitch & roll adjustment and measurement system

      • Pick-and-Place for gram load and pitch & roll adjustment and measurement system     

      • Automated Optical Inspection system (AOI) for E-blocks and actuators

      • Suspension trimming and forming

      • Suspension automatic sorting

      • Laser welding for suspensions

      • Measurement system for Head Gimbal Assembly (HGA) and Head Stack Assembly (HSA) with ESD control

      • Adjustment equipment for HGA and HSA with ESD control

      • PZT attachment system

      • Reflow soldering system for suspensions

      • Head Stack Assembly auto stacker systems

      • Head Stack Assembly Auto Swaging Systems

      • Vision system coupled epoxy tacking system for HSA Assembly line

      • Auto Damper Cut and Place

Colibri has also been active in the production and machining of the precise parts and stamping dies for the HDD industry. From this we have amassed valuable HDD production experience.
