Semiconductor manufacturing equipment requires precise, reliable motion across complex mechanical and software systems. Performance Motion Devices (PMD) develops motion control ICs, drives, and boards for applications including wafer handling, precision positioning, and semiconductor process equipment.
Whether you're developing a new semiconductor tool, improving an existing design, or scaling equipment production, PMD provides the motion control technology, development tools, and engineering support to help bring your designs to life.
Trust Automation develops custom motion solutions for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Using PMD's Magellan MC58113 Motion Control IC, Trust Automation achieved 1 micron bidirectional repeatability across three synchronized axes in a wafer processing application. Closed-loop control and dual-encoder feedback also helped extend the equipment's guaranteed service interval from 90 to 365 days.
