    摘要: A wafer is carried on a blade supported on robotic arms. A plurality of guide clamps both move the wafer into a desired position on the blade and clamp the wafer in place during transport by the arms. The clamps are reciprocally mounted on the blade and are connected with and driven by a rotatable hub carried on the blade and rotated by the movement of the arms. Both the blade and the clamps include beveled surfaces that guide the wafer into place. The operation of the clamps is controlled by a laser that detects when the wafer is out of place or tilted on the blade.
