【For the semiconductor industry】Significant cost reduction for complex-shaped stone equipment frames.
For those struggling with granite processing costs and delivery times. We solve the challenges of equipment frames with excellent damping properties, freedom of shape, and high-precision transfer without processing!
■Reasons and Challenges for Using Granite in Equipment Frames (Bases) Granite is widely used for the frames (bases) of semiconductor manufacturing equipment due to its high dimensional stability and excellent damping properties. However, when it comes to complex shapes, the high processing costs of granite and the extended manufacturing lead times pose significant challenges. ■Solution: Mineral Casting and High-Precision Transfer Technology Material Characteristics: Polymer concrete, which has material properties similar to granite, such as approximately 10 times the damping capacity and low thermal conductivity compared to cast iron. Manufacturing Features: The casting method allows for the integral shaping of complex geometries, and the high-precision transfer technology enables the production of ultra-high-precision flat surfaces with flatness of 3 to 7 μm without machining. By applying mineral casting to complex-shaped equipment frames expected to be produced in medium to large lots, significant cost reductions and shortened manufacturing lead times can be achieved compared to processed granite products. The Hinode Group offers a one-stop solution from material development to processing and logistics, providing optimal solutions for our customers.
