Used Semiconductor Bonding Equipment
Used K&S ICONN ProCu Wire Bonder for Sale
Source used, tested and refurbished K&S ICONN wire bonders according to the required model, wire process, material-handling configuration and equipment condition. Available equipment may include selected ICONN PLUS, ICONN ProCu and ProCu PLUS machines, subject to current inventory.
Equipment Sourcing Overview
How We Match a Used ICONN Wire Bonder
A useful equipment search begins with the required package and process rather than with a shortened model name.
Two machines from the same ICONN family may have different bond heads, EFO systems, indexers, clamps, software and included tooling. The individual serial number must therefore be reviewed before compatibility is confirmed.
“K&S ICONN for sale” is not a complete equipment specification.
Send the target wire, package and material-handling requirements so
unsuitable machines can be excluded before quotation.
Match the Wire Process
Confirm gold, copper or another wire process together with wire diameter, EFO, gas delivery, capillary and previous production use.
Match the Package Handling
Compare the package drawing with the indexer, track width, clamp, heater block, indexing direction and practical bondable area.
Define the Required Condition
Select used, powered, tested or refurbished equipment and define the required inspection, demonstration and documentation scope.

Configuration Matching
Four Steps Before We Recommend a Machine
Model generation, process capability, package handling and machine condition should be checked separately.
This reduces the risk of selecting an ICONN machine that powers on correctly but cannot support the intended wire, package or tooling.
Submit Your RequirementsIdentify the Process
Confirm the wire material, diameter, capillary, pad structure, package type and existing qualified equipment.
Review Available Machines
Compare model, year, serial number, software, bond head, EFO, indexer, tooling and current condition.
Define the Test Scope
Agree whether the requirement is power-on testing, dry run, sample bonding, customer-product testing or extended operation.
Confirm the Delivered Scope
List tooling, accessories, backups, documents, refurbishment work, packing and shipment arrangements.

Bonding Test
What it demonstrates
Computer startup, controller communication and visible alarms.
Axes, program sequence, indexer, clamps and repeated machine movement.
Ball formation and bonding using the available wire, capillary, tooling and sample.
Useful for
Initial machine screening.
Mechanical and material-handling evaluation.
Stronger process-related evidence.
Does not automatically prove
Axis stability, bonding capability or package compatibility.
Qualified bond results using the customer’s package.
Long-term reliability for a different package or process.
Information required
Model and serial number.
Machine program, tooling and handling setup.
Wire, capillary, package, recipe and acceptance criteria.
A powered machine is not automatically production-ready. Final process
qualification remains dependent on the intended package, materials,
tooling, recipe and factory acceptance requirements.
Used Machine Inspection
Core Inspection Points for a Used ICONN
Inspection should use evidence from the actual serial number being quoted. Photos or videos from another machine in the same family do not confirm the quoted machine’s condition.
The final scope can be adjusted according to the selected equipment, available tooling and required delivery condition.
Ask for clear nameplate photographs before reviewing performance
claims. The model generation and installed options affect every later
inspection decision.
Model and Serial Number
Record the complete model, manufacturing year, serial number, suffix, electrical data and any LA, ELA or upgrade identification.
Bond Head and Transducer
Check Z movement, force response, transducer condition, wire clamp, capillary holder, cables and signs of collision.
EFO and Gas System
Verify electronic flame-off operation and, for copper configurations, regulators, valves, tubing, nozzles and gas flow.
Vision and Axis Movement
Test camera image, lighting, pattern recognition, XY movement, homing, programmed motion and the required working area.
Indexer and Tooling
Confirm track width, transport, clamp, heater block, package support and all included change parts.
Computer and Software
Record software versions, licenses, computer condition, storage, machine files, process programs and available backups.
Quotation Information
What to Send for an ICONN Equipment Search
A complete inquiry allows available machines to be compared by configuration instead of only by model name and price.
Where a package drawing is unavailable, send photographs of the current machine nameplate, tooling, leadframe or substrate.
Already have a target serial number?
Send the machine photos or quotation so the listed configuration can be reviewed against the application.

Secure and Pack
Secure moving assemblies, protect monitors and tooling, use suitable moisture protection and export packaging.
Arrange Delivery
Confirm shipment terms, destination, unloading, installation, utilities and available technical support.
Equipment FAQ
Used K&S ICONN Wire Bonder FAQ
Common questions about current availability, equipment condition, copper configuration, testing, tooling and quotations.
Which used K&S ICONN models may be available?
Availability may include selected ICONN, ICONN PLUS, ICONN ProCu and ProCu PLUS configurations. Exact years, serial numbers, options and conditions depend on current inventory.
What is the difference between used, tested and refurbished equipment?
Used describes previous ownership or production history. Tested means an agreed inspection or demonstration has been completed. Refurbished should refer to a documented cleaning, repair, adjustment or component-replacement scope.
How can I confirm that an ICONN supports copper wire?
Check the exact ProCu model identification, EFO, gas delivery, bond head, software, wire kit, capillary requirements and previous copper process evidence.
Does a used ICONN include clamps and heater blocks?
Not always. Included tooling must be confirmed for the individual machine and listed in the quotation, inspection record and packing list.
Can a dry run confirm production readiness?
No. A dry run demonstrates motion, material handling and sequence execution. Production qualification requires the intended wire, capillary, package, tooling, recipe and acceptance criteria.
What should be inspected on a used K&S ICONN?
Inspect the nameplate, bond head, transducer, wire clamp, EFO, gas system where applicable, vision, axes, indexer, clamp, heater block, software, computer and included tooling.
Can a used ICONN wire bonder be refurbished before shipment?
Refurbishment may be arranged according to machine condition and agreed scope, including cleaning, mechanical checks, repairs, backups, motion verification and dry-run testing.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Send the target model, wire material and diameter, package drawing, leadframe or substrate dimensions, required bondable area, tooling, preferred condition, quantity and destination.
Request a Used K&S ICONN Equipment Search
