Company profile
FABREEKA INTERNATIONAL INC.TAIWAN BRANCH (U.S.A.) designs and manufactures high-technology vibration-isolation systems and solutions for vibration-sensitive precision instruments, equipment and processes. Its isolation systems use a fully decoupled patented architecture intended to isolate vibrations coming from the floor, the surrounding environment, machines and equipment, including moving stages, fans and internal motors. In semiconductor manufacturing, the company describes production floors containing tens of different machines, with many processes depending on dedicated high-resolution precision equipment that is subject to aggressive moving-stage motion. For high-acceleration stages in semiconductor machines, typical settling times are stated as 200 to 300 ms. Vibration originating from the floor, the environment or a machine's own moving parts can reduce throughput and cause excessive wear in semiconductor-manufacturing equipment. Fab vibration levels are normally measured before equipment installation, but the company states that those levels can degrade by around 10 – 15 dB during the first two years as production and maintenance equipment increases. As production technology develops from 10 to 7 to 5 nm nodes, Fabreeka® identifies increasing demands on measuring and inspection equipment and greater difficulty for fabs that already struggle to meet floor-vibration criteria. Vibration-isolation platforms are therefore presented as necessary for sensitive equipment to function according to specification. Fabreeka® offers a wide range of active vibration-isolation systems in addition to its broader isolation and shock-control product families. The company adapts off-the-shelf systems to OEM requirements for technical performance or dimensional constraints and can progress to completely bespoke solutions for demanding customer requirements. For chip manufacturers designing new fabs to meet vibration specifications, Fabreeka® states that using its devices for sensitive equipment can provide significant savings.
Exhibits
Fabreeka's product families include Expansion Bearings, Foundation Isolation, Levelers, Pneumatic Isolation, Shock & Vibration Pads and Thermal Breaks. Its thermal-break range is described as energy-saving thermal-break solutions for structural and lighter-load applications. Shock & Vibration Pads are offered for impact shock, vibration isolation and damping, alongside foundation-isolation and pneumatic-isolation products. Fabreeka states that it has delivered vibration-isolation, shock-control and thermal-break products for over 100 years, with custom and innovative solutions designed and manufactured globally for over 100 years. All products are made in the United States of America, and served industries include building and construction, energy, heavy equipment, industrial machinery, precision equipment, testing and transportation. Its support resources include training seminars and a document library, and the company offers application-oriented assistance for unique customer needs. For semiconductor equipment, Fabreeka also describes natural-granite structural components that provide key support and stabilization. These structural components use high-quality natural granite and are precision machined for hardness and durability under high-frequency and high-intensity semiconductor-production operation. The granite's low coefficient of thermal expansion and thermal stability are used to maintain high precision even when environmental temperature changes. The granite components are also described as vibration resistant, helping reduce equipment vibration and improve production precision and efficiency. Their non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant characteristics are presented as supporting the high-purity and high-precision requirements of semiconductor manufacturing. Together, the isolation systems, shock-control products, thermal breaks and precision-granite structures address vibration, impact, thermal and structural-stability needs across precision equipment environments.
