Integrating wafer handling robots
The semiconductor industry is equipping itself with wafer handling robots to improve its competitiveness and performance. Thanks to these robotic solutions, semiconductor manufacturing processes are more efficient and reliable. Operators no longer have to carry out manual operations, which are considered slow, irregular and sometimes dangerous. They can now be assigned to high added-value tasks.
The deployment of robots to handle wafers has just as many advantages. Since the processes are automated, the products can be moved quickly and with great precision. Their integrity is ensured, guaranteeing their quality and reducing rejects at the end of the production cycle.
Finally, robotic solutions for wafer handling have a fast work rate and ensure high productivity.
Robots for handling 200mm pods and 300mm foups are mainly used in the semiconductor and automotive industries. They are also used in other sectors, such as medicine, research and electronics. They are the ideal solution for optimising a company’s competitiveness and productivity.
Discover the ATG Technologies SideLoader
To automate your wafer manufacturing processes, opt for ATG Technologies’ robotic solutions, the SideLoader. The SideLoader automates the loading and unloading of your wafers on your production line.
It’s easy to integrate, so you don’t need to modify your existing infrastructure. This collaborative robotic solution is ergonomic and high-performance.
The SideLoader is a collaborative robot developed by ATG Technologies, in partnership with Focussia, a subsidiary of MGA Technologies. It is fully integrated with the FAB communications standards (SCS/GEM/E84).
Finally, the SideLoader is a secure solution. As a collaborative robot, it can interact with your operators. Thanks to the safety system it is fitted with, the SideLoader automatically detects any risk of collision or impact with nearby humans. If there is any danger, it will stop automatically.
