Semicon West in San Francisco: Bosch Rexroth to Display Applications and Automation Technology to Improve Semiconductor and Photovoltaic Production


Bosch Rexroth Bridge Module

Company to feature automation technology and applications that improve productivity, reliability, throughput and cost for semiconductor manufacturing and photovoltaic production, July 15-17 at Semicon West, booths S-841 and S-941.

(San Francisco, CA - www.boschrexroth-us.com/SEMICON) Bosch Rexroth, the Drive and Control Company, will exhibit a broad range of automation capabilities and applications for semiconductor and photovoltaic production, July 15-17 in San Francisco at Semicon West, booths S-841 and S-941.

Showcasing application areas for solar, wafer handling, metrology, chip handling and wire bonding, Bosch Rexroth will demonstrate how companies can improve productivity, enhance reliability, boost throughput and reduce cost for semiconductor and photovoltaic manufacturing.

In addition to working displays for photovoltaic cell handling, wafer lifting and FOUP transfer, the company's 1,600 square-foot booth will contain specific products and technologies from its electric drives and controls, pneumatics, linear motion and assembly technology groups.

Key product highlights will include:
New Bridge Module with extremely stiff profile and carriage, ideal for solar cell manufacturing
Miniature linear motion components for wire bonding and chip handling
New IndraDrive Cs drive and SERCOS III automation technology for wafer handling and other processes
NYCe4000 control system suitable for all types of encoders, and high-precision linear motion components for metrology
Pneumatic Non-Contact Transfer (NCT) units for photovoltaic panel and wafer handling
asy-2-Combine pneumatic component system for chip handling
