AVR 3000 Vacuum Robot System (300/450mm)

The AVR-3000 Vacuum Robot System provides highly precise and reliable transportation in ultra-clean, high-vacuum processing environment. The AVR-3000 is operable up to 10E-10 Torr.

Special kinematics and motion transmitting design guarantee fast motion of the arm, zero backlash, and robustness against excessive external forces, applied to the links.

Advanced motion coordination over multi-segment trajectories with overlapping velocity profiles guarantees smooth and effective material transfer.

The AVR-3000 has 0.5" vertical travel and is available with various end-effector options, allowing the robot to transport a wide array of wafers up to 450mm, photo-masks, FPD's over an extended radial reach.

Black Box Option:

The Black Box is a small electronic device installed inside the robot body. It collects and stores critical information about the robot operation. The preserved information includes:

  • Equipment Uptime, Downtime, Manufacturing Time and Total Running Time. The data is in compliance with SEMI E10-0701 standard.
  • Number of revolutions for each motor.
  • Number of faults due to excessive speed/acceleration or overloads caused by robot collisions.  
  • Robot specific information like serial number, calibration data and additional statistical data.

The accumulated information provides objective criterion for the need of preventive maintenance procedures. The usage data can be used for lubrication scheduling or belts and motors replacement.
The same information allows adjusting the robot warranty term based on the real usage rather than just on a fixed time period. This feature can extend the warranty for robots not actively in use.

The Black Box is compatible with all Genmark Automation robots. It has its own interface and does not require update of the robot firmware.

Black Box Specifications.

  • Number of motors observed: up to 8
  • Storage media: 64KB FLASH
  • Data retention time: More than 10 years
  • Communication Interface: RS232, Ethernet (optional).
