摘要: An apparatus comprises a first induction section comprising a first core and a first coil on the first core. A second induction section comprises a second core and a second coil on the second core. The first core comprises rail extensions, where at least two of the rail extensions extend from opposite ends of the first core. The second core comprises shoe portions located at respective ones of the rail extensions, where a gap is provided between each of the rail extensions and respective ones of the shoe portion. The second induction section is configured to move relative to the first induction section in a path along the extensions. The first induction section is configured to induce current in the second induction section, including when the second core moves relative to the first core along the extensions, to provide a contactless induction coupling between the first induction section and the second induction section.

摘要: An apparatus including a movable arm; a robot drive connected to the movable arm; and a heat transfer system. The robot drive includes a first drive configured to extend and retract the movable arm and a second drive configured to move the movable arm and the first drive along a linear path. The heat transfer system includes a first heat transfer member on the base and a second heat transfer member, where the heat transfer system is configured to transfer heat from the first drive to the first heat transfer member and then from the first heat transfer member to the second heat transfer member. The first heat transfer member travels with the base, and the first heat transfer member moves relative to the second heat transfer member as the base moves relative to the slide.

摘要: Providing a first movement including rotating a first arm about a rotational axis of a robot drive; rotating a second arm on the first arm, where the first and second arms form a robot arm, where the first and second arms are the only arms of the robot arm, where the robot arm has an end effector rotationally fixed to the second arm, and where the end effector is configured to support a substrate thereon for transporting the substrate by the robot arm; and controlling the rotating to provide a path of the end effector such that the end effector does not contact the substrate during the rotating. Providing a second movement including rotating the arms to provide an at least partially straight linear path of a center of the substrate relative to the rotational axis of the drive robot when the substrate is on the end effector.

摘要: An apparatus including a motor housing which includes a plurality of electrical connector apertures through the motor housing; a plurality of first electrical connectors which include a projecting pin section; a plurality of second electrical connectors which include a socket section configured to receive a respective projecting pin section; and a casing configured to press the first electrical connectors against respective seals at the electrical connector apertures to seal the electrical connector apertures. The first electrical connectors project through the respective seals. The projecting pin sections are located in the respective socket sections of the second electrical connectors with a press-fit therebetween to thereby connect the first and second electrical connectors.
