1-2 Revision 1
Atmospheric Single-Arm Robot Overview
Brooks Automation robots are Class 1 cleanroom-compatible. Robot mechanics are
free of backlash, resulting in 3σrepeatability of +25 microns. The low-inertia design
enables rapid motion without sensitivity loss in the closed-loop DC-servo system.
There are no motors above the mounting surface and the robots have only sealed
cleanroom motors, belts, and pulleys.
Brooks Automation robots handle wafers from 75 mm (3 in) to 300 mm (12 in) in size.
The robots vary in size. The smallest robots handle loads of up to five pounds, mov-
ing vertically about 7 in. Larger robots have heavier bodies and move vertically from
10 in to 17 in.
The arm link length determines the reach; arm links are available in lengths from 4.25
in (107.95 mm) to 14.75 in (374.65 mm). For an arm length of 4.25 in per link, the total
reach is 8.50 in plus end-effector length.
Flat Panel Display (FPD) robots are similar to the wafer-handling robots, but because
the substrate is larger, the body must be heavy-duty. For example, the FPD 700 series
of robots handle FPDs up to 700+ mm. An FPD-robot direct-drive axis on provides
high-torque characteristics and eliminates transmissions or reductions, resulting in a
true zero-backlash design. The electro-static discharge (ESD) tolerance is 21 kV.

Top-Mount and Bottom-Mount Robots
Robots are available in both Atmospheric Top Mount (ATM) and Atmospheric
Bottom Mount (ABM) configurations to accommodate various processing con-
figurations. For example, a robot might be top mounted in a fixture or bottom
mounted on a track.
WETBOTs
A WETBOT is an atmospheric top-mount robot with a chemical resistant fin-
ish. The covers on the arm links have O-ring seals and a seal is required where
the top flange meets the mounting surface. Although many WETBOTs have a
Flipper end effector, any end effector can be used.
The Series 100 WETBOTs use a harmonic drive for the theta axis. The speed
and acceleration parameters for harmonic drives vary slightly from the speed
and acceleration parameters for other gear systems, given the same body size
and Z travel. Other than this, the WETBOT functions the same as other atmo-
spheric robots.
Dual-Arm Robot
The Dual-Arm Bottom-Mounted Robot (DBM) is designed to handle wafers
from 200 mm to 300 mm. Two end effectors are mounted on two arms with
independent radial movement; the verticla and theta movement is shared. The
DBM can be used in a fixed position or bottom mounted on a track system.
Options include a laser scanner, but not a flipper or integrated pre-aligner.
