20080260502 | Substrate processing apparatus and semiconductor device manufacturing method - A substrate processing apparatus comprises a storage container for storing multiple substrates and whose substrate loading and unloading opening is sealed by a lid, a load port for placing the storage container, an attaching and detaching device for attaching and detaching the lid on the substrate loading and unloading opening in the load port, a first placement unit for mounting the storage container in the load port and moving away from and near the attaching and detaching device, and a second placement unit provided separately from the first placement unit, for mounting the storage container in the load port and moving up and down relative to the attaching and detaching device. | 10-23-2008 |
20090067960 | WAFER GUIDE FOR PREVENTING WAFER BREAKAGE IN SEMICONDUCTOR CLEANING APPARATUS - A wafer guide for preventing a wafer breakage in a semiconductor cleaning apparatus includes a lower supporter, side supporters, fixing units and stoppers. The lower supporter is provided with a plurality of slots formed with the same interval in a length direction to vertically stand a plurality of wafers thereon. The side supporters are structured and arranged in parallel at each side above the lower supporter. The side supporters support side end parts of the wafers. The fixing units are adapted to support both end parts of the lower supporter and the side supporters, and may be fixed to a bath. The stoppers are individually coupled to each of the fixing units. The stoppers are operable to generate an error in a close operation of holder units of the robot chuck when the robot chuck deviates from a normal alignment range, so as not to perform a wafer chucking, thereby preventing a wafer breakage during the wafer chucking. | 03-12-2009 |
20090245982 | UNIT FOR OPENING INSERT FOR TEST TRAY AND METHOD OF MOUNTING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE USING THE SAME - A unit for opening an insert of a test tray which comprises an accommodating space for accommodating a semiconductor device and a support for supporting the semiconductor device accommodated in the accommodating space, the unit includes a body, a pair of opening devices provided in the body to open the insert, and a positioning guide unit protruding to be inserted into an accommodating space for a semiconductor device when opening the insert and supporting the semiconductor device that is transferred into the accommodating space to be spaced upward apart from a support provided in the accommodating space. | 10-01-2009 |
20090245983 | CLAM SHELL TWO-PIN WAFER HOLDER FOR METAL PLATING - A clam shell wafer holder includes a base and a lid pivotally connected with the base by an integral hinge. The base includes a rotatable wafer support, and the lid includes a universal frame and a pin holder attachment spaced inwardly from the frame. Only two contact pins are formed in a wafer-facing surface of the pin holder attachment. The contact pins are manually aligned with and contact two points on a wafer when the lid is closed against the base. A method for holding a wafer for plating is provided using the disclosed holder apparatus. | 10-01-2009 |
20090324371 | APPARATUS FOR THE PRODUCTION AND/OR MACHINING OF PANELS - A method and apparatus for producing and/or machining panels. The apparatus includes a transport device for transporting a panel along a transport path and a machining device for machining the panel as it moves via the transport device. The transport device includes a plurality of positioning devices arranged one behind the other and spaced apart by a distance along the transport path. Each positioning device includes upper and lower abutment mechanisms arranged opposite one another and on opposite sides of a panel plane, and being spaced apart by a distance. An adjusting device is used for setting the distance between the upper and lower abutment mechanisms. An actuating arrangement is structured and arranged to actuate the adjusting device of at least two of the plurality of positioning devices. An arrangement is used for independently adjusting each of the upper and lower abutment mechanisms of at least one of the plurality of positioning devices. | 12-31-2009 |
20100068016 | Article processing stem - A removable stem for handling and transporting articles such as optical lens blanks during “wet processing” is disclosed. The stem is dimensioned and configured to support such articles particularly in liquid baths, while directing “wet” materials along the surface of the stem and away from flow onto the article. The stem further provides a drip collection point to avoid disturbing the surface of a “wet bath” while an article is immersed in the bath. | 03-18-2010 |
20140126981 | Insertion of Inserts into Channels of a Catalytic Reactor - An automated insertion apparatus for inserting at least one insert into each of a multiplicity of reactor channels. The apparatus comprises a feed position that supports a magazine that holds a multiplicity of inserts, and a transport mechanism defining at least two support channels each configured to hold a single insert, and means to transport each support channel repeatedly between an input location adjacent to the feed position and an output location, and means to feed one insert from a magazine at the feed position into a support channel of the transport mechanism at the input location. The apparatus also includes a transfer mechanism to push an insert into a reactor channel, and an alignment mechanism to ensure that the insert that is being inserted is aligned with the reactor channel. The transfer mechanism is adjacent to the output location. The transport mechanism may be a rotary drum. | 05-08-2014 |
20150147142 | HANDLING DEVICE FOR HANDLING A ROTOR BLADE MOLD FOR PRODUCING A ROTOR BLADE OF A WIND TURBINE - The present disclosure concerns a transport vehicle for handling a rotor blade mold for the production of a rotor blade of a wind power installation or a shell portion of a rotor blade of a wind power installation, adapted for use in a handling apparatus. The handling apparatus includes a first rail set for displacement of the transport vehicle in a first direction, and a second rail set for displacement of the transport vehicle in a second direction. In addition the transport vehicle includes a first wheel set including a plurality of wheels for movement on the first rail set, and a second wheel set including a plurality of wheels for movement on the second rail set. | 05-28-2015 |
20150147143 | TAPE FEEDER, COMPONENT MOUNTING APPARATUS AND COMPONENT FEEDING METHOD - There is provided a tape feeder that feeds a carrier tape to supply components to a component suction position for a mounting head in a component mounting apparatus. The tape feeder includes a first tape feed mechanism which is provided in a downstream side and feeds a preceding tape to the component suction position, and a second tape feed mechanism provided in an upstream side and feeds a following tape from a tape introducing port side toward the first tape feed mechanism. The tape feeder also includes a tape slipping-off informing unit which informs the component mounting apparatus that the following tape is slipped off from the second tape feed mechanism. For example, the tape slipping-off informing unit decides that the following tape is slipped off when a rotation of a sprocket of the second tape feed mechanism in an opposite direction is detected. | 05-28-2015 |
