AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing electrostatic chucks suffer from fatigue damage due to repeated stretching and bending of the ropes during long-term use, resulting in loosening or even breakage, which affects reliability.

Method used

The power is transmitted by replacing the rope with a screw drive. By utilizing the self-locking and zero elastic deformation characteristics of the screw pair, the linear movement and clamping of the electrostatic chuck are achieved by rotating the screw. Combined with elastic columns and limiting components, flexible clamping is achieved to prevent loosening and slippage.

Benefits of technology

It effectively solves the problem of rope fatigue fracture, ensures stable clamping force, avoids the risk of dynamic slack, and improves the reliability and clamping effect of electrostatic chuck.
