Indexer

Handles wafer sizes from 100mm to 300mm (open bottom cassette) without any tool change.

Automatically detects wafer/cassette size.

Integrates easily with all types of reflow/curing ovens.

Programmable for any cassette pitch or number of wafers per cassette.

Belt drive in front and behind the "H-bar" for superior wafer handling.

Encoder feedback to automatically match adjacent oven belt speed, for a smoother transition.

Multiple capacitive sensors for each wafer size.

Servo-drive control with high-quality ball screw ensures smooth, precise operation.

Multiple indexers can be placed in-line for increased throughput.

Available communication protocols are SMEMA, SECS/GEM, Modbus, and Ethernet (remote diagnostics).

Handles empty, partial or full cassettes.

LCD touch pad for easy programming.

Can serve as a buffer when used with a pass-through cassette.
