The TMC active air isolation leveling system, PEPS II, is built upon TMC's advanced PEPS (Precision Electronic Positioning System) and has been improved upon. By adding a new digital controller, PEPS II is easier to use, provides more features, and has an improved user interface.
TMC Active Air Isolation Leveling SystemPEPS II
PEPS II is built upon TMC's Precision Electronic Positioning System (PEPS) and has been improved upon. By adding a new digital controller, PEPS II is easier to use, provides more features, and has an improved user interface. PEPS II is a digital non-contact height control system used for TMC pneumatic isolation systems. This type of system typically includes a mechanical height valve and a mechanical height sensing linkage. Its applications include semiconductor manufacturing equipment that requires improved stability time and increased yield, as well as precision laboratory environments that require optimal noise performance and platform stability.
TMC Active Air Isolation Leveling SystemPEPS IIfeature
● Digital control, user-friendlyLCD interface
● Used forNon contact electric pneumatic height control of Gimbal Piston, CSP, and MaxDamp isolation systems
●Z-axis position reproducibility: 10 microns
Due to the elimination of the lever contact point in traditional mechanical height control systems, the vibration isolation effect has been improved
The pneumatic feedforward function minimizes to the greatest extent possibleResponse of Z-axis to X-Y platform motion
Can be adjusted to quickly and stablyMotion caused by X-Y platform
● Optional“VX "function integrates inertial sensors for active damping of vertical isolator resonance
● Compatible with 'Softdock Station'. Allow loading without motion installation/Unloading wafers
Corresponding electronic valves. Switches or traditional electronic valves do not produce pulse noise
Exhaust pipes are used for cleaning and treating exhaust gases
● Logical docking control and status
