Sikama Offers New Type of Transportation System
Release upon Receipt
SANTA BARBARA, California, USA, Janurary 4, 2004 - Sikama International has developed a new type of transport system for the Falcon 8500, the Falcon 8100, and the Falcon 1200 Reflow and Curing systems. The new transport system, called a “walking beam”, incorporates beams that span the length of the furnace and allow for smooth, accurate, and safe transport of the most critical substrates. It’s simple and robust design enhances the performance of the patented thermal technology based on conduction heating in combination with forced thermal convection by reducing temperature differences across the substrate surface. Transitional temperature differences are eliminated by heating and cooling the entire substrate at the same time. The design “lifts” the substrate from the bottom. The beam then brings it to the next heating zone, thus retract back, eliminating any chance of backside scratching or product breakage.
FEATURES
- Substrate is picked up and moved from zone to zone
- Eliminates backside scratching or wear of product/fixtures
- Simplified maintenance and cleaning
- Eliminates product breakage
- SMEMA compatible
- Simple robust design
