Semiconductor equipment represents the ultimate motion control challenge, requiring incredible precision, high throughput, and extreme reliability. For today's global semiconductor providers Performance Motion Devices answers the call. We provide motion control ICs, modules, and boards for wafer handling robots, spin coaters, material transport. We solve motion problems in ION beam implanters, vacuum pumps, nanometer-scale XY positioning, and provide a multitude of solutions for metrology, lithography, inspection, and back end processing.
Performance Motion Devices has the motion control components and software you need to design and build your semiconductor capital equipment faster, with more performance, and at a lower cost. We understand your challenges and offer a range of easy-to-deploy motion control solutions, such as integrated circuits (ICs), digital drives, digital amplifiers, and motion control boards that will meet your application requirements and help you outcompete the other guys.
Contact us and tell us about it. We'd love to explore how our custom or turn-key ICs, modules, and boards, can best meet your Semiconductor Equipment design challenge.
PMD is the motion control provider of choice for today's wafer handling robotics, XY positioning stages, metrology stations, and more. Whether semiconductor companies work with PMD's products directly or with our partner provider solutions, PMD's motion control at its core means incredible performance, high reliability, and ultra-safe operation.
The MC73112, MC73112N, MC71112, and MC71112N from PMD are ICs that provide torque control with advanced features for FOC, shunt regulation, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal generation with shoot-through protection, and more.
When it comes to step motors, a new drive technique called stepper servo has some engineers believing they have found the holy grail of positioning motion control - the high performance of a servo motor with the low cost of a step motor.
A noisy or chattering servo axis is perhaps the single most common motion problem that engineers encounter when building their motor-based machine. This deep dive focuses on servo motor noise problems and how to solve them.
Accurate velocity contouring for controlled coating thickness is critical and this use case looks at the considerations and then explains how to use high-performance motion control solutions to maximize uniformity of thin-film thickness.
Step motors are a common solution for controlling the position of moving components. This paper looks at step motor control design options and provides an in-depth review of a closed-loop motion control system.
This deep dive provides a detailed look at design choices, such as using off-the-shelf motion boards versus integrated machine control boards, for building a machine controller that provides advanced precision motion control.
