Abstract

A method, and apparatus for performing the method, for the ultrasonic contacting wired connection of electrical circuits to metallic leadframe strips, which apparatus essentially includes a bonding head with the energy transducer located thereon for feeding to the process point of the leadframe strip and for producing a longitudinal vibration amplitude is supplied with a first voltage, the bonding head is associated a measuring head fixed to a machine base, and the measuring head has an optical/electrical sensor which measures the instantaneous amplitude of the longitudinal vibration of the infeed of the bonding head and determining a correction factor mathematically from the measured quantities obtained, and the first ultrasonic value for the vibration amplitude of the energy transducer is calibrated with the correction factor.
