HERO®FAB series from Fabmatics combines an established, clean and safe 6-axis robot system with a free-moving vehicle.
It is designed to fully automatically load and unload process machines and to transport wafer carriers between load ports, stockers and racks in the clean room.
The HERO®FAB runs completely free without rail or cable connection. This makes it the ideal and flexible alternative to permanently installed transport systems for automating even hard-to-reach areas of a semiconductor factory. The transport jobs are coordinated by the Fabmatics fleet manager (HSFM).
