Used BROOKS / PRI AUTOMATION 017-0950-01 #9390214 for sale

BROOKS / PRI AUTOMATION 017-0950-01 is a highly advanced wafer handler designed to both transfer and assemble the semiconductor wafers that are used as components in modern electronic systems. It facilitates the loading and unloading of wafers from cassettes to transport plates, and assembles the individual wafers onto the entire wafer for further processing. The unit comprises of a robust frame that contains a conveyor equipment, and a number of different components that work together to move and assemble the wafers. The basic process of the wafer handler starts with the unloading of wafers from the cassette or transport plate into the body of the machine. A high-speed motor-driven conveyor then carries each wafer up to the manipulator head where it is automatically aligned and loaded onto the assembler head. The assembler head then rotates and aligns the wafer, and a robotic arm is operated to move the wafer to its final place in the assembler frame. Afterward, the assembler then indexes the wafer to ensure that it fits the interconnects that have already been constructed on the wafer frame. The system is able to perform operations with several different levels of precision and accuracy. At each step of the process, specialized sensors measure various parameters of the wafer, such as diameter, flatness, and surface roughness, allowing for corrective actions to be taken if any deviances from the set specifications are detected. The wafer is then clamped in place, and an automated head on the manipulator arm precisely guides the wafer into the assembler. Through the efficient automation of BROOKS/Pri wafer handler, production processes are drastically improved. The unit requires no human interaction, greatly reducing the possibility of human error. A wide range of parameters can be adjusted within the machine to optimize accuracy and yield, decreasing the cost associated with producing high-quality wafers. Additionally, it can easily be integrated with other automated equipment and computers, allowing for further automation and rapid production speeds without having to rely on manual operations.
