Semi-Automated Biomedical Wet Bench Overview
Wafer Process Systems Inc. automation concepts which incorporate Dual Axis Linear or Rotary Motion Positioning Systems in either pneumatic or servo applications provide a wide range of cost effective methods for substrate handling. Automated Wafer Transfer Systems are designed to accommodate a wide range of substrate sizes ranging from 100mm to 300mm single or dual wafer cassettes. Systems are available in multi substrate size capabilities which make it ideal for Fab transitions or for wafer reclaim processes which require various size substrate processing capabilities. The operator interface is via a touch screen panel which provides full graphical display of all positioning system parameters. The touch screen control incorporates an alarm status panel which prompts the operator in the event of any alarm conditions and a maintenance screen which allows maintenance personnel the ability to control all functions manually or in an automatic mode.

INTERESTING SALES STATISTICS

Making contact with potential customers is a challenge.  There is a very fine line between enthusiastic follow up and annoying your potential customer. Emails and phone calls can easily be ignored by your target audience.  In bygone days, it was considerably easier for sales people to adopt the attitude that if a customer needed something, they would call you. Those were the days of word of mouth contact and trade show exposure.

Today, companies must focus on the online exposure and search engine optimization.  BUT, personal contact matters.  The statistics below bear that out. 

Wafer Process Systems manufactures Automated and Manual Wet Benches, IPA Dryers, Fume Hoods and Plating Equipment for the semiconductor, biomed,solar, disc and automotive industries.

                            Meeting your specifications.  Exceeding your expectations.
