Easy Switch Replacement | EMEA
Quickly and easily replace switches without prolonging downtime
Significantly reduce maintenance time
Loosening and tightening screws with a screwdriver increases the workload
At semiconductor manufacturing sites, preventing downtime is a key priority when aiming for throughput that maximizes production efficiency.
However, no matter which countermeasures are implemented, equipment must be stopped temporarily during maintenance for parts replacement. As an example, wiring maintenance often requires removing the screws with a screwdriver, changing the wiring, and then using the screwdriver again to secure the screws back into place.
Loosening and tightening multiple screws one by one in this way is a time-consuming task.
In addition, designers of semiconductor manufacturing equipment must meet the conflicting end user demands for miniaturization and the continued need to fit a screwdriver inside the equipment. This only serves to increase the difficulty of the design process.
Reduce downtime with quicker and simpler switch replacements
What can be done to speed up the switch replacement process and meet the demands for more compact equipment?
For equipment design engineers, IDEC offers smart solutions. Our switch solution uses a wiring harness to drastically reduce wiring time. By attaching a male connector on the wiring side and a female connector on the terminal block side (previously a screw mount), the wire can be quickly attached and removed even in tight spaces. This design for switch wiring reduces the burden on equipment designers, and cuts downtime during parts replacement work.
