20140263143 | Articulated Arm Lifting System - A lifting system for semiconductor processing equipment utilized in a cleanroom environment. The lifting system comprises of an articulating arm, a base, a load indicator, a capture tool and a wirelessly controlled hoist motor unit with float control. The float control allows precise positioning and movement of the load without requiring use of up and down controls of the wireless remote. Covers and the bellows positioned on and coupled with the arm assembly reduce contamination caused by a wire rope extending from the arm. A load indicator shows the system coming under load while holding the load stationary. A capture tool provides quick release and ease of grabbing the load with the use of a capture pin. A rotary electrical collector provides a full 360 degrees of rotation of the articulating arm from the base, in both directions. This lifting solution provides high cleanliness and ease of use. | 09-18-2014 |
