Exhibits
Kawasaki states that it has the No.1 market share in wafer transfer clean robots, positioning wafer-transfer automation as a core part of its semiconductor-oriented robotics offering. Its original drive mechanism is described as providing highly accurate and rigid operation for those wafer transfer clean robots. TKRC can offer robot systems using Kawasaki's full line of products, drawing on its robotics experience and expertise to configure systems for customer manufacturing requirements. Production start-up support extends from delivery and installation through teaching and operation, so the supplied robot system is supported through the transition into use. After installation, TKRC provides after-sales service and preventive maintenance using M2M and IoT technologies, including operation monitoring pursued with the goal of zero downtime. When trouble occurs, TKRC states that it can respond quickly to minimize downtime and keeps necessary spare parts in stock for service support. Its workshop includes repair and inspection facilities, including a cleanroom booth specifically identified for wafer-handling clean robots. This combination of wafer-handling clean robots, robot-system integration, start-up assistance, stocked spare parts, repair capability and monitored preventive maintenance connects Kawasaki's robotics offering to semiconductor manufacturing environments where clean handling and equipment availability are required.
