Crossing Automation - SMIF - Indexer™
Crossing Automation's SMIF-INX products are designed to supply wafer indexing for fixed Z-axis wafer handlers or cassette positioning to a fixed plan for Z-axis wafer handlers. With an installed base of over 15,000 units, the SMIF-INX has proven its versatility, functionality, and reliability. Contamination control benefits of the SMIF system are well documented and reveal how the latest generation INX 2200 EP provides a substantial increase in die yield for fabs. Indexers meet SEMI E15 and E19 specifications and are CE certified.
Maximum Productivity & Profitability
