摘要: An apparatus having a drive unit having a first drive axis rotatable about a first axis of rotation and a second drive axis rotatable about a second axis of rotation, the second drive axis being coaxial with and partially within the first drive axis and axially rotatable within the first drive axis. A robot arm has an upper arm connected to the drive unit at the first drive axis, a forearm coupled to the upper arm, the forearm being coupled to the upper arm at a first rotary joint and rotatable about the first rotary joint, the first rotary joint being actuatable by a first band arrangement coupled to the second drive axis, and an end effector coupled to the forearm, the end effector being coupled to the forearm at a second rotary joint and rotatable about the second rotary joint, the second rotary joint being actuatable by a second band arrangement coupled to the first rotary joint. The second band arrangement is configured to provide a variable transmission ratio.

摘要: A substrate transport arm including a first link; a second link rotatably connected to the first link; a third link rotatably connected to the second link at a wrist joint; and a mechanical transmission having a pulley. The third link includes an end effector configured to support a substrate thereon. The mechanical transmission is connected to the third link to control rotation of the third link on the second link. The mechanical transmission is configured to control rotation of the third link as a function of an angle between the first and second links such that, as the first and second links are rotated relative to each other, the wrist joint follows a wrist path which includes a curved portion, and where a center of the substrate supported on the end effector is moved along a substantially straight substrate path as the wrist joint follows the curved portion.

摘要: An apparatus including a controller; a robot drive; a robot arm connected to the robot drive, where the robot arm has links including an upper arm, a first forearm connected to a first end of the upper arm, a second forearm connected to a second opposite end of the upper arm, a first end effector connected to the first forearm and a second end effector connected to the second forearm; and a transmission connecting the robot drive to the first and second forearms and the first and second end effectors. The transmission is configured to rotate the first and second forearms relative to the upper arm and rotate the first and second end effectors on their respective first and second forearms. The upper arm is substantially rigid and movement of the upper arm by the robot drive moves both the first and second forearms in opposite directions.

摘要: An apparatus including a robot drive; and a robot arm connected to the robot drive, where the robot arm includes a first link connected to the robot drive, a second link rotatably connected to the first link at a first rotatable connection, and an end effector rotatably connected to the second link at a second rotatable connection. The end effector includes a heat choke located between a substrate support area of the end effector and the second rotatable connection. At least one of the first rotatable connector or the second rotatable connection includes a rotary thermal coupling having interleaved members which are rotatable relative to each other.

摘要: An apparatus including a drive; and a movable arm assembly connected to the drive. The movable arm assembly includes a first arm and a second arm, where the first arm includes a first upper arm, a first forearm and a first end effector, and where the second arm includes a second upper arm, a second forearm and a second end effector. The first end effector includes at least two first substrate holding areas. The second end effector includes at least two second substrate holding areas. The drive and the movable arm assembly are configured to prevent the movable arm assembly from passing over top sides of substrates located on the first and second substrate holding areas.

摘要: A robot arm includes a wrist, an end effector, and an adjustable joint coupling the end effector to the wrist. The adjustable joint includes a member received in a socket. In one example, the member is a ball. In another example, the member is a tang. In both examples, an upper flange and a lower flange can be used to couple the wrist to a forearm.

摘要: A system for forming a bulk material having insulated boundaries from a metal material and a source of an insulating material is provided. The system includes a heating device, a deposition device, a coating device, and a support configured to support the bulk material. The heating device heats the metal material to form particles having a softened or molten state and the coating device coats the metal material with the insulating material from the source and the deposition device deposits particles of the metal material in the softened or molten state on the support to form the bulk material having insulated boundaries.
