MultiLink™ Robot Dual Arm Atmospheric Wafer Handling Robot Kensington Laboratories’ 300mm capable MultiLink™ Dual Arm atmospheric wafer handling robot meets the industry’s most rigorous 300mm performance standards. The Dual Arm robot achieves extremely high throughput in a small footprint, providing a significant cost of ownership advantage. Kensington Laboratories, a leader in advanced robotics technology, is committed to developing and manufacturing the highest quality and most cost effective atmospheric robots in the industry – all backed by Kensington Laboratories’ global service and support network. • High Throughput: Kensington Laboratories’ proprietary vacuum counter-balancing system eliminates robot settling time in the Z axis. This, in combination with a rapid swap time of less than 3 seconds, significantly increases throughput. In four pod 300mm systems, greater than 360 wafers per hour throughput is achieved.* • Low CoO: A minimal swept volume of less than 21 inches allows the Dual Arm robot to handle wafers within a very compact design, reducing overall system footprint. • Accurate Wafer Placement: High performance design provides precise motion control and eliminates structural deflection and creep. All robot axes are guided by preloaded bearings mounted on monolithic frames machined from single ingots of highly stable aircraft-quality aluminum. • High Reliability: The MultiLink Dual Arm robot achieves exceptional MCBF by employing direct-drive DC servo motors with real-time force feedback and non-contacting glass scale encoders that monitor actual drive train output. • Automated Self Teach: The patented Automated Self Teach feature reduces time required to bring systems online and provides faster time to production ramp. • Zero Preventative Maintenance: Superior precision design requires no periodic lubrication or adjustments, increasing system availability for production.
