Used KENSINGTON 8500-12 #9156454 for sale

KENSINGTON 8500-12 is a fully automated wafer handler used in semiconductor device fabrication. It is designed to support a wide range of wafer sizes up to 8 inches and 150 mm. The equipment uses six-axis robotic arms for precise and repeatable wafer transfer, and includes a high-precision vision system that can track wafers and compensate for any movement during transport. The unit features a highly responsive computerized controller that can be programmed with a variety of functions and recipes to facilitate quick and accurate wafer transport. Specifically, the controller can be programmed with parameters based on wafer size, orientation, and handling characteristics. It is also designed to accommodate up to 5 wafers in a single transfer, allowing for fast throughput. 8500-12 also boasts a high degree of accuracy and ultra-precision positioning capabilities. A stepper motor driven machine and linear stage with an encoder provides precision in the range of 0.1 μm. Implementing this level of accuracy allows for precise process control for handling wafers of various sizes and shapes. For safety, the tool can provide a rigid wrist mechanism with low inertia, which is essential in preventing unintentional damage to wafers during transfers. In addition, the asset is protected by an EOS fuse that will shut down the model if an overload occurs. Furthermore, KENSINGTON 8500-12 features a compact, lightweight design that integrates with most conveyor systems with minimal space requirements. It is also designed to provide easy maintenance, featuring self-diagnostics and a user-friendly interface. Overall, 8500-12 is a reliable, high-performance wafer handler designed to meet the demands of today's semiconductor device fabrication. It offers precision, repeatability, and safety features that make it ideal for numerous production environments.
