Used BUEHLER ECOMET III #9178016 for sale

BUEHLER ECOMET III is a high-precision wafer grinding, lapping and polishing equipment ideal for the fabrication and characterization of semiconductor wafers, optical components and thin films. A single-axis platform, coupled with a precision spindle and grinding fixtures, allows users to both grind and lap efficiently. ECOMET III enables precise control over all relevant parameters such as load, spindle speed, feed rate, and grinding depth. It also includes automated sensors that monitor wafer temperature for precise grinding during polishing. BUEHLER ECOMET III utilizes microprocessor technology and a robust drive system to maintain a high degree of accuracy. The drive unit incorporates a zero-backlash gear train, enabling the machine to perform at high speeds and in tight spaces with minimal clearance. The machine also offers a selectable pitch compensation to ensure uniform grinding. This compensation can be adjusted during operation to maintain a precise dress of the working surface and to minimize grinding chatter or vibration. ECOMET III includes an adjustable grinding depth control as well as several adjustable operating parameters such as table speed, spindle speed and feed rate. The process parameters can be varied depending on the material being ground, the desired grain size, and the desired surface roughness. This flexibility allows users to quickly customize each operation to meet their specific needs. BUEHLER ECOMET III is capable of generating extremely precise surfaces with superb surface finishes. The tool utilises three separate stages of grinding, lapping and polishing to produce a highly polished surface. The grinding stage utilizes diamond wheels to abrade a thin layer of material from the wafer. The lapping stage is used to refine the surface by creating small channels that allow for material and surface uniformity. The polishing stage uses a combo-polishing pad to achieve an extremely fine finish without distortion. ECOMET III features a full enclosure to ensure a safe working environment during operation. The asset also includes a vacuum cleaning model to minimize the presence of dust within the environment and a safety guard with a sensor stop. BUEHLER ECOMET III is the perfect solution for fabrication, research and characterization of wafers and optical components.
