Semiconductor Wafer Handling Robots
In semiconductor fabrication, wafer handling robots must perform with absolute precision and cleanliness by moving ultra-thin wafers between cassettes, inspection tools, and processing chambers without contamination or breakage. These systems rely on micro-accurate, vibration-free motion to maintain yields in sub-micron manufacturing.
Handle Delicately. Move Precisely. Automate with Purity.
Helix Linear Technologies supplies miniature lead screws, precision ball screws, and compact linear actuators engineered for the cleanroom performance demands of wafer handling robotics. Our motion components offer smooth, backlash-free movement ideal for pick-and-place, indexing, and Z-axis lift operations.
With options for cleanroom-rated materials and long cycle life, Helix motion systems help semiconductor OEMs and automation engineers build robotic platforms that protect product integrity while keeping fabs moving at full speed.
Key Benefits:
- Ultra-smooth motion for gentle wafer transfer and alignment
- Cleanroom-compatible materials and lubricants minimize particle generation
- Compact, high-precision actuators for multi-axis robotic arms
- Designed for high duty cycles and 24/7 semiconductor production
Helix brings the precision motion that keeps semiconductor handling clean, controlled, and contamination-free from wafer load to final process.
