air knife, rotating frame at intervals, rotating frame is provided with vacuum chuck.Using rotary table, distance adjusting
actuator respectively to bearing disc and
wafer form rotary drive and inclination control, by
air knife,
shovel knife and vacuum chuck
assembly to
wafer array inner circle, outer circle is distributed automatically shovel,
transfer operation, after being sent into air bearing guide rail, make wafer be
positive pressure air film float to drift state to guarantee not to be physically impacted, then slide into collection jam and be collected, ensure wafer and carrier separation,
transfer operation is highly automated, while ensuring wafer quality is intact and the consistency of collection piece sequence, increase the production efficiency of wafer manufacturing industry.
