The contamination-free IEG-200/300 soft-touch mechanism with programmable gripping force enables the gripping tips to gently touch (hug) the wafer thus minimizing particle generation while maintaining a secure hold with a constant gripping force. The rotating distal tips allow random wafer access in the cassette with small inter-wafer gaps (down to 5mm). The IEG 200/300 is the industry’s only gripper that comes with a self-centering feature, allowing exact placing of the wafer on a stage or chuck, thus minimizing particle creation associated with friction present during wafer shifts and drops.
Optional top-approach or mapper available. Modular design for easy customization.

A blade type edge gripper with built-in side through beam is available for detecting empty or cross-slotted wafer in a wafer boat.
Edge Gripper for Small Clearance
- Ultra-slim gripper and special gripping tip designed to meet the very small pitch/clearance of the cassette (Standard cassette with pitch 4.75mm used for 1.2mm thick wafer)
- Works with notch wafer and wafers with primary and secondary orientation flats

Vortex Gripper for Thin and Warped Wafers
- Handles ultra-thin (50~700µm, possible warped) and standard wafers of similar sizes with a single device
- Picks “potato-chip” & warped wafers with offsets up to ±4mm and warpage and sag up to 5 mm
- Fail-safe mechanism
- For 6", 8" or 12" wafers with optioal flipper
- Available in both top-
and bottom-pick
