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.
