AI Technical Summary
Existing wafer transfer devices have long transfer times between two racks, making continuous transfer impossible and resulting in low transfer efficiency.
The wafer transfer device, which uses a longitudinal drive mechanism and a position adjustment component, brings the wafer clamping component close to the shelf through the longitudinal drive mechanism. After the wafer is clamped by the electric push rod, the wafer is lifted and placed. The position adjustment component exchanges positions to achieve synchronous picking and placing, ensuring uninterrupted transfer.
This enables rapid and convenient transfer of wafers between two racks, improving transfer efficiency and ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the transfer process.
