Glass-Gripper G1-G11

Our handling systems using the ultrasound air bearing technology can be applied in any atmospheric process. The ultrasound air bearing generates a supporting gas-film (air or process-gas) between its surface and the substrate. Thus, any mechanical contact is avoided. The substrate is hovering on or below the supporting gas film.

Top-Side Handling

Many handling processes need the use of attracting and repelling forces at the same time, e.g. top-side handling. For top-side handling the repelling ultrasound forces are used in combination with attracting low-pressure forces. This technique enables an easy-to-use non-contact handling of parts, very much like the familiar top-side-gripping of parts. Additionally flexible parts can be flattened, kept in position and geometry by this technique without any contact to the handling tool. The substrates are centered by adjustable and movable side-stops.
