摘要: An automated workpiece processing system including at least one workpiece processing unit, a workpiece holder configured to removably hold a batch of workpieces therein, each workpiece embodying workpiece identifying indicia where the workpiece identifying indicia is a physical representation of a sample held on a respective workpiece, and to interface with the at least one automated workpiece processing unit, and a controller including a memory having a data structure therein that effects, with the workpiece identifying indicia, batch process tracking of each workpiece in the batch of workpieces through the at least one automated workpiece processing unit in a predetermined batch workpiece processing sequence.

摘要: An automated workpiece processing apparatus including a processing section including a processing module configured for processing a workpiece at a process location, a transport module including a first shuttle stage, a second shuttle stage independent of the first stage, and an end effector connected to at least one of the first and second stages, the end effector being configured to hold and transport the workpiece into and out of the processing module, and having a range of motion, defined by a combination of the first and second stage, extending from a workpiece holding station outside the processing module to the processing location inside the processing module so the end effector defines a processing stage of the processing module, and an automated loading and transport section including a load port module through which workpieces are loaded into the automated loading and transport section, and being communicably connected to the transport module.
