Product Briefing Outline: GF Piping Systems has introduced the new Type 567 Butterfly Valve in large diameter sizes up to 12 inches.  The new corrosion-resistant valve incorporates a double eccentric operating principle that provides improved wear and easier operation over traditional eccentric style butterfly valves.  Typical applications include industrial water treatment and waste water systems. 

Product Briefing Outline: A unique Roller Pinion System (RPS) from Nexen Group, Inc., allows machine designers to incorporate highly accurate linear and rotary motion-control functions with zero backlash and speeds as high as 11 meters per second (36.1 feet per second).  The patented RPS technology can replace typical rack and pinions, linear motors, spur gears, chain/belt drives and ball-screws in critical motion-control applications that require high speed, great accuracy, and low maintenance and noise. 

Product Briefing Outline: Entegris has introduced the new Torrento family of high-flow liquid filters that help improve liquid contamination control of nano-scale particles in wet etch and clean (WEC) manufacturing processes used in advanced semiconductor applications. Built on a combination of new membrane technology and an advanced ATE device construction, the Torrento filters provide high-yield, rapid bath clean-up cycles, extended filter life, and allow for fast change-outs and increase cleanliness. 

Product Briefing Outline: Aerotech’s WaferMax T rotary stage was originally designed for the demands of precision wafer inspection; however, due to its low height design it can be used in a wider range of tool applications where high-throughput production performance with high levels of precision are required especially when space and access are limited. The WaferMax-T rotary stage has full 360-degree rotation and a certified accuracy of +/-5arc/sec. 

Product Briefing Outline: Watlow has introduced thick film quartz heater modules for wet chemistry applications. They feature an optical trip that protects the heater from excessive boiling, non-contact dry fire and insufficient fluid flowing through the heater. Intended for deionized (DI) water and aggressive chemicals, these thick film quartz heater modules provide ultra pure semiconductor-grade quartz performance. 

Product Briefing Outline: The Swagelok CR-288 concentration monitor addresses a critical requirement in the semiconductor industry for improved monitoring and control of liquid chemicals employed in device manufacturing. Installed in the process stream or at point-of-use where chemicals are delivered or blended, the technology delivers real-time, highly accurate measurements of the concentration and temperature of process fluids. 

Product Briefing Outline: K-Patents launched the Semicon Process Refractometer PR-23-MS real-time chemical concentration monitoring system. PR-23-MS provides a continuous 4-20 mA or digital measurement signal, which offers many possibilities for real-time monitoring and process control. It is physically small and easy to install in the bulk chemicals supply and distribution, and in point-of-use chemical blending, mixing, dilution and spiking applications.
