Semiconductor

The semiconductor industry is rapidly growing, & simultaneously, transistor sizes are shrinking. This means that speed & precision have never been as important as they are today.

Wafer handling robots are a common component of semiconductor production facilities, requiring both speed & precision. To achieve these attributes, motors that are strong, lightweight, & compact are necessary. Therefore, slotted motors are traditionally utilized in wafer handling robots. However, the drawback of slotted motors is the torque cogging, which has a massively negative impact on the precision of wafer handling robots.

Alva’s FiberPrinted™ motors are the ultimate choice for wafer handling robots due to the fact that they rival slotted motors in terms of torque density while also having virtually zero cogging torque. With Alva’s motors, you don’t have to compromise between the speed & precision of your wafer handling robot.
