What is the selection of components to suppress vibration for the semiconductor industry? Reasons why castings are chosen.
Attenuation that affects positioning accuracy. With vibration absorption power about 10 times that of cast iron, mineral casting dramatically shortens the leveling time.
Are you struggling with "vibration not settling and cycle time extending" in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, where the demand for high throughput is expanding? In environments where miniaturization is progressing, the vibration absorption capacity of the components themselves affects yield. ■Essential Cause of Unsettled Vibration Although steel has high rigidity, its low "damping" means that once vibrations occur, they persist for a long time. ■Solution: Mineral Casting This is a type of polymer concrete made by solidifying resin and aggregates (crushed stone). It has overwhelming vibration damping properties, about 100 times that of steel (such as SS400) and about 10 times that of cast iron (such as FC250), instantly suppressing vibrations. ■Benefits of Implementation By adopting mineral casting for the base (frame) of the equipment, both equipment precision and throughput are improved. In spaces with strict spatial constraints, such as columns, there are successful cases where a hybrid structure of high-rigidity cast iron and high-damping mineral casting has reduced settling time by approximately 60% compared to conventional structures. To unlock the potential of the equipment, a review of material selection is essential. The Hinode Group offers optimal damping solutions.
