SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER CASSETTE POSITIONING AND DETECTION MECHANISM |
摘要 |
An apparatus for detecting the presence of wafer cassette, or, pod resting on an arrangement of pins allows cassette detection without interfering with insertion of a transport. A cassette resides on an arrangement of beveled pins (24) which mate with corresponding receptacles (28) on the underside. Pins supporting the cassette have a spring biased (26), hollow outer cylinder (20) coaxially mounted around a center post (22). A cassette places on the pins displaces the outer cylinder downward a sufficient distance to trigger a sensor. Upon removal of the cassette, the outer cylinder is displaced upwards, resetting the sensor.
