A NEW SOLUTION FOR VIBRATION ISOLATION
The QuiET Active Isolation System is a new module cancelling both stage-born and ground-born vibrations along 6 Degrees Of Freedom, preventing them from perturbating the process taking place on top of your motion platform.
Most of the time high-end applications in the semiconductor industry integrate complex equipment set-up, which, in one way or another, is connected to the granite of the motion platform. As such, any vibration at the granite level translates into inaccuracies and longer settling times at the process tool level. Thanks to ETEL’s solution, getting rid of those vibrations has never been done so efficiently!
PUSHING MOTION PERFORMANCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL
The QuiET Series is pushing one step further ETEL’s Forward Integration Strategy. From now on, an advanced motion platform from ETEL does not only include the advanced motion system and its associated state-of-the-art motion controllers, but can also benefit from ETEL’s proprietary active isolation module. This makes ETEL the only motion system supplier able to cover such a wide scope of supply!
Thanks to a proprietary low-noise sensor and an homogeneous, fully digital, and deterministic motion control architecture based on 1 Gb TransnET, ETEL reduces move and settle times to unprecedented values. With an acceleration feedforward accuracy reaching higher than 99%, less than 1% of the energy generated by a motion stage movement remains at the granite level! The mass of the granite on the active isolation system can therefore be kept small, which in turn reduces the overall real estate and mass, while processing tools directly benefit from a quieter environment.
