PLC CONTROLLER

A palm-sized PLC with a built-in Operator Panel.  The panel offers a graphic display screen and keypad.

The Graphic HMI display screen can show images, text, and graphs according to real-time parameters.  It can also display graphs based on historical values, to reflect trends of recorded data.

MODBUS

Use serial or TCP/IP MODBUS to create a multi-device network, and establish master-slave communication between PLCs and any connected device that supports the MODBUS protocol (SCADA systems, servos and other peripheral devices).  Any controller in the network may function as either master or slave.

SENSOR INDICATORS

Visual indicators are used for faster troubleshooting of sensor problems utilizing terminal blocks with LED’s.  The LED’s are indicators for the sensors mounted in the assembly from the top shelf down.  The green LED is coupled to power and the red LED’s are coupled to the sensors output.  When the sensor is blocked the red LED turns on or becomes brighter.

FASTER, QUIET SMART MOTORS

The version 10 systems use the latest technology for motion control for Exceptional Performance and Smoothness.  All-in-one high performance brushless motors with integrated electronics and on-board electronics: driver, programmable motion controller and encoder for closed loop control increases functionality and repeatability.

ET 1000 & 2000 Wafer Transfer System
Click to Enlarge

For high-reliability wafer transfer with a minimum of human interaction, MGI’s ET (Easy Transfer) 1000 and 2000 mass wafer transfer systems combine solid state technology, robotic control interfaces and precision stepper motor positioning to move wafers from carrier to carrier.

The ET advanced on-board computer, positioning sensors and precisely tooled wafer contact parts deliver proven wafer handling techniques and enhance yields.

The ET 1000 and 2000 series wafer transfer systems can become part of a completely integrated, automated environment via a nine-pin RS-232 serial port.

MGI’s ET series accepts standard, angle or contiguous carriers and can be configured for a variety of wafer
transfer needs:

• 25-25
• 25-50
• 12-13
• Back-to-back proximity
• 13-26 (300mm only)
• Teflon coated for CMP and wet decks

Enhanced, Simple-To-Operate Keyboard

For production mode operation, a simple push-button keyboard gives the operator reliable control over wafer transfer operations. A simple mode select switch allows the operator to select transfer between process carrier to process carrier.

Space Efficient and Smart

With a footprint of 11.80” wide, 11.40” deep and 25.62” high, the compact ET 1000 and 2000 systems weigh only 40 lbs. The ET 2000’s smooth-running stepper motors are computer controlled with built-in logic features that prevent damage to the system or wafers. For example, if the controls sense an unscheduled stop or obstruction in either stage, the ET’s elevator will reverse automatically and return to the starting position. Similar safety features prevent reloading accidents after power failures or system interrupts.

ET 1000 and 2000 Models for 100mm, 125MM and 150MM Wafers

ET 1000 and 2000 models are available for 100mm, 125mm and 150mm wafers. These machines are designed to accommodate contiguous (angle) quartz, silicon carbide, polysilicon and entegris plastic carriers.

Custom Design Available

For unique applications, MGI offers custom design and manufacturing using our proprietary ET 1000 and 2000 transfer technology. ET 1000 and 2000 systems have been
modified for diverse semiconductor applications.

MGI, Inc. - A World Leader In Wafer Handling Since 1974

In 1974, MGI developed the first wafer transfer unit which revolutionized the semicondustor industry. Since that time the company has delivered over 10,000 wafer transfer systems, flat aligners, notch aligners and custom systems to semiconductor manufacturers throughout the world. With patented technology and precisely-tooled wafer contact and handling components, MGI has become a first choice among FAB managers.

  • Zero wafer contact upon initial process carrier placement on notch aligner enables the unit to gently lift and center each wafer. Assists in the elimination of particle generation produced during the notch alignment process.
  • Carrier sensor automatically initializes notch alignment process.
  • The carrier adaptability improvement allows process carrier locators to accommodate various semi-standards shipping, cleaning, and other metal and plastic process carriers.

 

New Design Features

MGI Electronics recently redesigned the 200mm Notch Aligner, by re-configuring the roller and notch stop assembly to gently lift to the wafers, align and eliminate contact to the
side walls of the plastic carrier.

Simple to Operate

MGI’s 200mm and 300mm Notch Aligners, offer interface ability with automation systems. Stand alone units are also available. The operation is controlled by a simple, pressuresensitive pad that automatically completes the notch alignment process. A micro-processor controlled electric stepper motor provides smooth precise movement. Power is provided by a 20V AC power converter or other power sources.

Service, Support And Warranty

MGI’s service warranty coverage includes all parts, excluding wafer contact parts, and labor required for repair of systems used within the manufacturer’s warranty requirements. Extended post-warranty service and support are available with optional service and maintenance agreements.
