Engineered-to-Order Systems

Anocast Stages

Laser Drum Scanning

• Anocast polymer composite base integrated with precision linear stage
• Inverted stage moves laser to form high quality printer scanning system
• Anocast features many precast, tightly toleranced features on multiple surfaces

Flat Panel Inspection

• Precast column, bridge and base features decrease machining / assembly costs
• Anocast reduces vibration below 1 Hz to decrease inspection time
• High thermal stability minimizes temperature gradients to improve measurement accuracy

Wafer Inspection

Anocast serves dual purpose on machine:

• Vibration damping reduces noise levels to extremely sensitive inspection instruments
• Composite base serves as structural member of metrology tool

Anocast Machine Bases

• Anocast is made using a room temperature casting process
• Low temperature facilitates the use of internal conduits, hoses, wires and piping
• Complex precast structures minimize post-casting assembly and machining costs

AOI of Printed Circuit Boards

• Anocast serves as complete machine structure
• Provides support to overhead XY gantry on optical inspection system
• Can be molded with various surface finishes and colors

Semiconductor Inspection

• Precast inserts facilitate accurate alignment on precision ground surface
• Rapid vibration damping assures sharp image acquisition
• Optimized shape minimizes footprint and maximizes rigidity

Electronic Component Placement

• Anocast serves as ideal vibration damping material for high speed gantry base
• Cable through holes and recessed pockets are precast to neatly integrate optical subsystems
• Proprietary coating process dissipates electrostatic charge to protect sensitive electronic devices

Grinding Machine Base

• Rigid base with steel pads molded into top corners
• Precision mounting surfaces can be machined after casting
• Integrated metallic surfaces can be used for fixturing high accuracy guideways
