SANMOTION G 2-axis amplifier for semiconductor manufacturing equipment

Optimize Your Semiconductor Equipment with SANYO DENKI's New 2-Axis Servo Amplifier

In the relentless pursuit of innovation within the semiconductor industry, every component must deliver on precision, higher throughput, and efficiency. For semiconductor equipment manufacturers, choosing the right motion control system is key. SANYO DENKI is proud to introduce a significant leap forward: the SANMOTION G 2-Axis Integrated AC Servo Amplifier. This cutting-edge solution is engineered to revolutionize your next-generation machines with unparalleled compactness, energy efficiency, and simplified integration.

Streamline Integration & Enhance Precision for Nanopositioning

Efficiency and accuracy are essential in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as wafer handling, lithography, and inspection, where sub-micron errors can compromise yield and throughput. The SANMOTION G series by SANYO DENKI is built to deliver the nanopositioning precision and system integration flexibility that these applications demand.

  • Nanometer-Level Precision Support
    Equipped with high-resolution encoder options up to 27 bits (134,217,728 pulses/revolution), the SANMOTION G series enables nanometer-scale motion control. This level of positional feedback is critical in wafer inspection, photomask alignment, and advanced lithography, where even the smallest deviation can affect critical layer overlay or defect detection.

  • Built-in 2-Axis Program Operation
    With onboard 2-axis programmable motion, users can execute synchronized sequences with simple, high-level commands. The amplifier provides simultaneous monitoring of both axes, making it easier to implement and validate complex motion profiles without relying on external motion controllers.

 

  • Simplified Setup and Real-Time Monitoring
    The updated MOTOR SETUP SOFTWARE streamlines commissioning by allowing engineers to configure and monitor both axes using a single cable. A new interface displays both axes’ real-time motion on one screen, accelerating setup, tuning, and diagnostics—reducing equipment startup time and supporting long-term maintainability.

Why Integrated Servo Amplifiers are Essential for Modern Fabs

The SANMOTION G 2-Axis Integrated AC Servo Amplifier directly addresses critical challenges faced by semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

  • Maximize Space & Design Freedom: In cleanrooms, every inch counts. This amplifier offers a 38% smaller installation area and is 19% lighter compared to two single-axis units. This contributes to more compact machine designs and lighter equipment.
