Sputter coating chambers are used to coat objects that appear in a variety of commercial and scientific applications. This lift is designed to load the substrate and fixture into the chamber for the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. It allows the operator to lift and manipulate the load safely and securely from an assembly table into the chamber. The extended articulating arm with embedded lift controls allows the floor mounted system to service both areas. The gripper rotates to aid in assembling the substrate to the fixture before installation. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
