TEAM-Mate 450

This compact, high-vacuum compatible, single-substrate loadlock system is designed to load wafers or other flat substrates into a SEMI-standard or custom process chamber. This small footprint system can mimic the motions of a robot at significantly less cost.

Typically the TEAM-Mate Loadlock would be mounted to a gate valve attached to a main system chamber. A substrate can then be easily positioned through the large entry door onto the transfer stage in the loadlock chamber. The loadlock would then be evacuated to the desired vacuum level, the gate valve opened and the substrate transferred into the process chamber. This allows repeated substrate loading and unloading without breaking vacuum in the main chamber greatly reducing process time.

UHV Compatible Optical Limit Switch
UHV Compatible Optical Limit Switch
The Model MAOLS is available for use as a "HOME" or "position confirmed" optical limit switch based on proven Honeywell LED and optical transistor devices. Similar to the widely used Omron SX series photomicrosensors, but fabricated from ultra-high vacuum (UHV) compatible materials and hermetically sealed components, these limit switches are turned on/off by a flag interrupting a narrow beam which provides a very reliable, non-mechanical repeatable switch. The signal conditioning PC board on the MAOLS will convert signals from the sensor. The signal is ready for interfacing to your PLC or other process control instrumentation. The MAOLS will operate in temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C.
