Description
Technical Field

[0002] The material picking and placing is a relatively important link in the industrial production process. At present, the traditional manual picking and placing method is no longer feasible on the automated production line due to its disadvantages such as high labor intensity, high cost, and lack of precision.
[0003] In the semiconductor production process, the material picking is a key step, and its efficiency and accuracy directly affect the production quality and cost. The traditional manual picking and placing method requires a large amount of human input. Workers need to perform long-term repetitive work on the production line, which not only affects the physical health of workers but also increases the labor cost of enterprises. With the continuous increase of labor costs, the cost of manual picking and placing is also increasing. In addition, due to the instability of manual operation, it may lead to low production efficiency and further increase the production cost. The semiconductor production has extremely high requirements for precision, and manual operation is often difficult to achieve this precision. Once an error occurs, it may lead to product quality problems or even the scrapping of the entire batch of products. And now semiconductors have been widely used in various electronic products, and there are also various intelligent robots for handling semi-finished materials in the production process. However, most of the current handling intelligent robots are dedicated to specific machines, which means they can only be used for specific tasks and environments and cannot adapt to the changing production needs. This not only limits the production flexibility but also increases the equipment investment cost. Therefore, a robot gripper for semiconductor equipment is provided. Content of the Utility Model
