TDI International, Inc. / Ideal-Tek
Partners in Providing Static Dissipative Tools for the Disk Drive Industry
TDI is the Exclusive Worldwide Supplier of the highest quality Static Dissipative Tweezers,
Scissors and Media Handling Tools for the Disk Drive Industry, manufactured by Ideal-Tek, Switzerland.
To meet the critical ESD, Contamination and Handling Slider/HGA/HSA Application requirements, TDI
provides the technical marketing/engineering interface with these Disk Drive Customers. Ideal-Tek in designing and manufacturing these Static
Dissipative Tools provides the latest technologies in Engineering, Production and Quality, Including ISO9002 certification to assure
specification compliance in providing these tools to the Disk Drive Industry.
TDI/Ideal-Tek's leadership in providing these static dissipative tools to the Disk Drive Industry
significantly increased the disk drive manufacturing yields due to reduced ESD failures in handling disk drive Slider/HGA/HSA components in assembly.
TDI/Ideal-Tek provided the leadership in substantially reducing the cost of our Static Dissipative
Tweezers with unique designs for replacement tips for these tools. The availability of these replacement tips versus complete tweezers replacement
has provided a "Cost of Ownership" estimated reduction of 40%+ for the Disk Drive Industry.
TDI/Ideal-Tek also provided the leadership in developing materials and testing procedure to meet both
the Contamination and ESD requirement s of the Disk Drive Industry.
TDI/Ideal-Tek has implemented comprehensive internally capability for all molding of static dissipative
tweezers and tips for these disk drive tools. All of these polymer compounds are extensively contamination tested to assure disk drive industry
specification standards compliance prior to approval release to mold production. The molding equipment is subjected to extensive cleaning
and inspection to assure similar contamination compliance. All of these static dissipative tweezers and their shipping trays are subjected to
final cleaning to assure surface contamination compliance for the Disk Drive Industry.
TDI/Ideal-Tek meets all of the criteria for ESD testing, as proposed by IDEMA. All of these
testing procedures are performed internally, including critical "Transient Current Discharge" testing.
TDI maintains an extensive inventory of these tools for prompt delivery to the Disk Drive Industry,
which are provided directly to the end user to assure the lowest cost for our customers. |
