COMET 4 station

Product description

Fully automatic, the COMET 4 station  allows the transfer of 2 wafer batches from 2 cassettes to other cassettes or boats.

Customized to meet your different cassettes, boats and wafers specifications needs, the COMET 4 station is fast, clean, reliable and accurate, and it saves valuable space thanks to its small footprint.

Simple to use and easy to maintain, the COMET 4 station is a one button system operation, fully automatic, free hand operating, set up and controlled manualy directly from the front panel keyboard. All electronic parts are compatible for all COMET machines.

Moreover , the COMET 4 station is compatible with SECS-GEM communication, SECSI or HSMS protocol, thanks to its R2S232 and TCP/IP communication port available on the rear side of the machine, and can be integrated in your process line (OEM customer), with Robotic arm and elevator.
