Details

This lift was configured to support a large diffusion furnace used in the semiconductor and solar power industries. Pictured here, a rubber-lined v-trough end-effector was equipped with a hold down support arm, and adjustable end stop for quartz glass tubes and liners. A secondary fixture gave the lift the added ability to handle the furnace’s heating element assembly. This lift includes a powered rotation module, positioning components in a vertical orientation, and allowing the loaded system to travel through narrow aisles and doorways.
