摘要: An apparatus, system and method for providing a vacuum ejector for use with an end effector. Included may be at least an end effector and a vacuum chamber for gripping an element during semiconductor processing. The end effector may include at least two clamp arms for placing a gripped element in relation to application of a vacuum to the gripped element; a vacuum cup having a mouth capable of sealing to the gripped element to provide a vacuum chamber; a vacuum ejector pin extending into the vacuum chamber and including a plurality of ports substantially at a tip thereof proximate to the gripped element, wherein the vacuum is applied by the plurality of ports; and an ejector pin actuator that is capable of moving the vacuum ejector pin toward the gripped element until the sealing of the mouth is broken and the gripped element is ejected from the vacuum cup.

摘要: An apparatus, system and method for providing a vacuum grip for an end effector. The apparatus, system and method may include at least a vacuum draw eyelet connectively associated with a vacuum at a base portion thereof, and having a larger cross-sectional circumference at a topmost portion thereof than at the base portion; an extending cup foam portion including a receiving portion suitable for receiving therewithin the larger cross-sectional circumference of the topmost portion; and a wire clip having two legs inserted along a cross-sectional plane of the extending cup foam portion, the two legs being suitable to compress the receiving portion into frictional contact at two tangent points on a second cross-sectional circumference of the vacuum draw eyelet below the larger cross-sectional circumference.

摘要: An apparatus, system and method for a compact box opener suitable for opening a compact box containing therein a reticle. The embodiments provide: a flowthrough deck; a plurality of location guides on the flowthrough deck suitable to mate with guides on a base of the compact box; a plurality of vacuum ports on the plurality of location guides capable of retaining the guides on the base; a lid opening arm having a suction cup at an end thereof, wherein the suction cup is capable of gripping a lid of the compact box and opening the lid by an actuation of the lid opening arm; rotary-actuated arms that are raised for initial actuation within the drawer above a rim of the compact box and which, when actuated, rotate jaws at an end of each of the rotary-actuated arms inward over the rim and downward to a height below a lower plane of the reticle; and at least one angular notch in each of the jaws suitable to grip a radiused edge of the reticle. Once the radiused edge of the reticle is gripped by the inward movement of the jaws, the jaws are raised while the reticle remains gripped until the reticle is at a second height fully above the rim.
