MICRO:June 98:Industry News:Order Desk

Newport, a manufacturer of high-precision equipment components, says a recent $4-million order from Therma-Wave is the largest single contract in the company's history. Therma-Wave purchased motion platforms from Newport's MikroPrecision subsidiary for installation in film-thickness measurement systems. Based in Irvine, CA, Newport specializes in vibration control, optics, and precision positioning components. A chipmaker with a fab in the Pacific Northwest has bought wafer-isolation equipment valued at more than $9 million from Asyst Technologies, the vendor reported. The order includes SMIF loadport transfer tools, minienvironments, and SMIF-Pods. The tools will be used to manufacture devices with 0.35-

Products & Services
Blasting and Peening Services
Blasting and peening services bombard media against a surface to meet surface condition requirements. Sandblasting uses abrasive grain to roughen, smooth, shape or clean surfaces. Shot peening uses rounded media to strengthen or dimple a surface.
EDM Tooling
EDM tooling, electrodes, fixtures, materials, guides and other supplies are used in electrical discharge machining (EDM), a highly-accurate manufacturing process for creating shapes within components and assemblies.
IC Electronic Filters
IC electronic filters are frequency-selective circuits that consist of devices such resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, or operational amplifiers coupled with reactive components.
Fiber Optic Amplifiers
Fiber optic amplifiers re-amplify an attenuated signal without converting the signal into electrical form.
Bearing Pullers and Tools
Bearing pullers and bearing tools are devices for assembling and disassembling bearings. They are often hand-held and manually-powered devices, but this area also includes mountable and powered devices like bearing heaters used before assembly.
