From Galil Motion Control

In the highly competitive and exacting world of silicon wafer production, throughput, precision and reliability are paramount.


Semiconductor equipment manufacturers are constantly being squeezed between the conflicting requirements of ever increasing
performance specifications, improved time to market, and reduced costs. That's why most semiconductor equipment manufacturers have come to specify robots manufactured by Brooks Automation, Inc. when designing their systems.
And why Brooks, in turn, has used Galil motion controllers in every one of the over 10,000 robots they've shipped.

Products & Services
CNC Controllers
CNC controllers are used to control machines and processes. They provide capabilities ranging from simple point-to-point linear control to highly complex algorithms with multiple axes of control. CNC controllers are used to retrofit many types of machine shop equipment.
Machine Controllers and Monitors
Machine controllers and monitors use electronic numeric control and monitoring interfaces for programming and calibrating computerized machinery.
Motion Controllers
Motion controllers range from simple linear controllers to complex, user-programmable modules that act as controllers within complex integrated multi-axis motion systems.
