Irvine Optical / Brooks Automation APS 2000 Wafer Sorter
About this part
APS 2000 is a legacy Irvine Optical semiconductor wafer sorter associated with Brooks Automation following Brooks' acquisition of Irvine Optical in 2000. Exact-model records consistently identify APS 2000 as wafer-handling or wafer-sorting equipment, but no verified official exact-part manual, brochure, datasheet, drawing, or configuration sheet is currently available. Wafer diameter, cassette arrangement, robot and elevator configuration, optical-reading options, controller revision, software, communications, and installed-tool compatibility must therefore be verified from the physical system labels and OEM documentation
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.
