ELEVATOR

Hine Automation Elevators  are  the  next  generation  of Random  Access  Elevators with onboard controller.  The Elevators provides accurate wafer indexing for application where material handling is performed by a robot with a limited vertical reach. 

HA‐50V/51V & Hatm‐50/51 elevators are designed to:  Integrate into any cassette load port or process module 

requiring vertical motion.  Provide precise substrate indexing capabilities within 

an high vacuum or atmospheric environment.  Handle heavy payloads due to the High strength 

undercarriage and precision guides. Additionally the HA‐50V features identical command sets 

and form factor as the vacuum elevator manufactured previously by Hine Design® and can be used as a replacement for the 48V model.

Hine Automation Optical Aligners are designed to automatically recognize notches, flats and double flats on opaque and translucent wafers.

The Aligner will orient the flat or notch of a wafer to a user defined rotational location and provide a correction vector to a robotic handler for alignment of  the center of the wafer to the center of the handler.

A laser CCD array and servo motor profile the wafer edge determining the wafer center and flat or notch position.

Standard features include aligning thin and warped wafers, high precision wafer alignment and wafer‐on‐wafer alignments.

The HA‐71A & HA‐75A can be configured to align different wafer sizes and shapes.
