Used IPEC / WESTECH / SPEEDFAM 472 #9158019 for sale

IPEC / WESTECH / SPEEDFAM 472 is a state-of-the-art wafer grinding, lapping and polishing equipment designed for mass-production of wafers with high-precision surface roughness requirements. The system comprises a single-spindle high-speed grinder, capable of up to 44,882 RPM, that allows for a precise removal of excess material and grinding to a precise depth. A lapping stage follows, where the surface is smoothed and flattened using diamond abrasive disks, reaching flatness values well below 1 micrometer. Finally, a polishing stage is carried out, where highly reflective surfaces are obtained with a polishing agent suspended in a mineral oil. The unit has the advantages of being able to preserve the size and shape of the wafer to within plus or minus one thousandth of an inch. The machine is highly efficient, able to process wafers up to 562 mm in diameter at up to 3,000 RPM. Furthermore, it has an excellent repeatability, working within a range of +/- 1.5 micron flatness. Additionally, due to its multi-axis application, the tool is able to serve the needs of many industries. IPEC 472 is a highly reliable and robust machine. Many of the components used boast an operational life of over 5,000 hours. Furthermore, the asset has been designed with safety in mind; with manual and automatic safety shutters limiting access to the grinding area and alerting operators of any dangerous conditions. The model's advanced programming capabilities make it easy to set up and customise for user-specific processes. Furthermore, it has the ability to be integrated with a variety of machines as well as with automated systems. In conclusion, WESTECH 472 is a highly advanced wafer grinding, lapping and polishing equipment that enables the mass-production of wafers with minimal time and material wastages. Boasting excellent repeatability, safety standards and durability, the system is ideal for industries requiring highly precise surface finishes.
