Arranging at the sensor shown in Fig. 2 (among Fig. 2 diagram four sensors 22) provides some sensors can be particularly conducive to existence crooked in the slotted line not only but also measures value corresponding to crooked size.For example, all sensors can be induction pick-up or capacitive transducer.Can be specially the roll off the production line angle of oriented phase line relatively of unstressed situation with line corresponding to the value of described size, this will illustrate hereinafter in more detail.
Fig. 3 illustrates the crooked supervisory system 10 of the line that is used for wire sawing apparatus 100 according to embodiment.Wire sawing apparatus 100 is exemplarily illustrated as and comprises line 30, and line 30 is also referred to as " guide cylinder " or " pulley " by two line-oriented device 130() along the guiding of the length of line 30.As obviously finding out ground among Fig. 5, line can be arranged in parallel, thereby forms the capable or gauze of line.The line that provides forms gauze specifically in the cutting zone of scroll saw.Thereby term " gauze " relates generally to the net that formed by the line between two guide cylinder.Should be understood that line can form more than one gauze, described gauze is defined as the zone of carrying out sawing technology.Therefore, according to embodiment more described herein, one or more line can form a plurality of gauzes, and for example, two gauzes all are fit to cut workpiece.Workpiece or ingot 120 are mounted to platform 110, and platform 110 is configured to move to cut described ingot against line 30.
Line-oriented device is fit to rotation usually with transmission line.Line-oriented device generally is configured to 5m/s at least or even peripheral speed (that is the speed of the excircle) rotation of 10m/s.Usually during the standard operation with the speed operation scroll saw between 10m/s and the 15m/s, and starting and stopping period speed can be less.And mobile if line comes and goes, line slows down every now and then so that described line accelerates in opposite direction so.
During cutting, line moves along the longitudinal length of described line basically.Term " basically " should specifically comprise vibration etc.Compare with the representative vertical motion of workpiece (such as, semiconductor junction crystal block), described movement is quick relatively usually.The line motion can or be carried out in complex way, and is reverse along the period of motion of the length of described line at this mode center line.In the operation, line is contacted with workpiece 120, so that work piece cut is become (for example) a plurality of wafers.
Implement according to difference, line or the line that forms gauze can move with respect to workpiece, and workpiece can move with respect to line or gauze, or line and workpiece both can relative to each other move.
When workpiece and line (such as, gauze) when exerting pressure toward each other, making a concerted effort of applying line is limpened by workpiece to line.The orientation of line bending is consistent with cut direction.When the crooked increase of line was too much, this situation may cause thread breakage.This thing happens in order to avoid, and embodiment described herein allows to become in bending and detects described bending before excessive, and allows to trigger enough reactions to avoid thread breakage.This reaction can be (for example) and reduces against the speed of the workpiece of line and/or increase the speed of line.Modification to the amount of the slurry that provides or paste composition etc. can be provided in other reaction.
According to some embodiment described herein (such as, the embodiment shown in Fig. 3), scroll saw supervisory system 10 comprises that sensor arranges 20 and control module 50.Sensor arranges that 20 are configured to be adjacent to line 30 location, and sensor arranges that 20 can comprise sensor board 24, and sensor board 24 has the some sensors 22 that are mounted to sensor board 24.The number of sensor can be at least 2, at least 4 or even at least 8,10 or even 16.Sensor 22 is configured to the detection line bending.Usually transfer to control module 50 by sensor measurement and the data of collecting, further handle data as described in (as assessment) at control module 50 places.For example, the logic level of each sensor (that is 0 or 1 result output) can be in order to the progress of monitoring cable bending.
Fig. 4 illustrates identical embodiment, and its center line (net) is exerted pressure along cut direction and experienced bending owing to workpiece.As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, according to the embodiment with some digital sensors, if there is no line is crooked or only have little line bending, and the logic state of all the sensors is identical usually so." little " in this situation means that the line bending is no more than the threshold value of line and sensor distance.
Yet during cutting technique, when platform 110 was mobile along cut direction (arrow 121 indications in by Fig. 4), the line bending may increase, and the one or more logic state in the sensor also may change.For example, near two sensors of workpiece (namely, in with reference to figure 3 and embodiment shown in Figure 4, two sensors to the right) can indicate following result: the distance between these sensors and the line is higher than threshold value, and still can sense the line that is lower than threshold value and the distance between the sensor from two sensors of workpiece away from (that is, among Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 left two sensors).Might obtain information about the crooked size of line from these results, specifically, about the information at the line of actual flexion position and the angle [alpha] (being illustrated among Fig. 4) between the non-sweep or the absolute bending length L that will discuss in more detail hereinafter.
For example, if sensor arrange as Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 as shown in longitudinally the line direction comprise four sensors (no matter as will about discuss in view of Fig. 5 illustrated embodiment number of sensors vertically), if and sensor is digital sensor, the threshold value of sensor can be through selecting so that can obtain following information so:
As shown in Table, if all the sensors shows 0 response, do not exist so line crooked or only exist little line bending (such as, be lower than 2 °).If near the sensor measurement of workpiece to the distance that is higher than threshold value that produces measurement result 1, and the distance between other sensor and the line still is lower than threshold value, is 0, this result may be interpreted as angle [alpha] greater than 2 ° but is lower than 4 ° so.Similarly consider to be applicable to other measurement results in other row of showing shown in being depicted in.In case all the sensors is with 1 response, the distance between all the sensors and the line is higher than threshold value so, and described threshold value must be interpreted as angle of bend greater than 8 ° in the limiting examples shown in the table.Significantly, this at least information should trigger reaction, such as, to the modification of at least one wire sawing apparatus operating parameter.
Should be understood that the threshold value that longitudinal length along the line has four sensors and described four sensors arranges this embodiment that the angle [alpha] shown in the generation table distributes, only for illustration purposes.The technician can obvious any other group can be fit to value comparably.
Although example use angle α above also may derive absolute bending length L by measurement result as the indication for the crooked size of line.Absolute bending length L refers in the reach the standard grade maximum deviation of rest position of line of cut direction.Absolute bending length L exemplarily is illustrated among Fig. 4 and represents with label 140.
For example, if sensor arranges that as Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 as shown in longitudinally the line direction comprises four sensors (regardless of number of sensors vertically), if and sensor is digital sensor, the threshold value of sensor can be through selecting so that can obtain following information so:
In addition, sensor described herein is arranged or scroll saw can be configured to trigger reaction, such as, according to measurement result to the modification of (such as, at least one operating parameter) of the mode of operation of scroll saw.With reference to the example about the explanation of above table, as long as being lower than 6 ° or absolute bending length, bent angle alpha is lower than 9mm, just may not trigger any reaction.In case angle surpasses 6 ° or absolute bending length L and surpasses 9mm, the speed of line just may increase (such as, increase by 10%) and/or cutting speed (that is, workpiece is along the translational speed of cut direction) just may reduce (such as, reduce 10%).In case angle surpasses 8 ° or absolute bending length L and surpasses 12mm, the speed of line just may increase even more (such as, increase at least 20%) and/or cutting speed just may reduce in addition more (such as, reduce at least 20%).Perhaps, in case measure maximum bend angle (such as, at least 8 ° or the absolute bending length of 12mm at least in this example, but be not limited to this example), but wire sawing apparatus can stop and/or alarm operation person so.
Should further be mentioned that, any other measurement result, such as, all the sensors with the range observation between described all the sensors and the line for being lower than threshold value, and intermediate sensor or compare the distance that is higher than threshold value from the farther sensor indication of workpiece with at least part of sensor in other sensor, this must be interpreted as thrashing.This situation is because crooked all the time along the direction of cut direction.In other words, not only negative angle α does not represent the situation of actual generation, and with the comparing from the farther adjacent sensors of workpiece of sensor, described sensor also can not sense littler distance.
By using the information about the logic state of sensor, the value of control module 50 definite line bendings and control line saw device are to avoid thread breakage.
