DBM-2706
PRI Automation / Brooks Automation Dual-Arm Atmospheric Wafer-Handling Robot
About this part
DBM-2706 is a legacy PRI Automation/Brooks Automation wafer-handling robot in the bottom-mounted DBM family. The DBM architecture uses two end effectors on arms with independent radial motion and shared vertical and theta motion. Manufacturer documentation describes 200-to-300 mm wafer handling in dry atmospheric environments. Individual systems were application-specific; wafer diameter, end effectors, scanner, track, controller, Brooks assembly number, and software files must be matched to the physical unit
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.
Key Facts
Specifications
| Part identifier | DBM-2706 |
| Product family | DBM dual-arm bottom-mounted atmospheric robot |
| Manufacturer lineage | PRI Automation product lineage; Brooks completed its acquisition of PRI in May 2002 |
| Equipment type | Dual-arm atmospheric semiconductor-wafer transfer robot |
| Operating environment | Dry atmospheric conditions |
| Wafer-size capability | 200 to 300 mm; the exact diameter supported by a configured unit must be verified from its complete assembly number and label |
| Arm arrangement | Two end effectors mounted on two arms |
| Radial motion | Independent for each arm |
| Vertical and theta motion | Shared by both arms |
| Installation | Fixed position or bottom-mounted on a track system |
| Wafer scanner | Laser scanner available as an option |
| Excluded integrated options | DBM-family documentation excludes a flipper and integrated pre-aligner |
| Amplifier location | Amplifier board housed inside the robot rather than the external controller |
| Application software | Robot macros and parameter files are application-specific and must match the robot, controller, and system configuration |
What Does DBM-2706 Mean?
Only the manufacturer-defined DBM family designation can be decoded. The numeric model value must remain uninterpreted without the dedicated dual-arm manual or an ordering-code record.
| Segment | Field | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| DBM | Robot family/type | Dual-Arm Bottom-Mounted Robot for atmospheric wafer handling |
| 2706 | Model designator | Exact model value. Available manufacturer family documentation does not define the individual digits; do not infer reach, stroke, wafer diameter, or revision from them. |
Replacement and Integration Checks
DBM-2706 installations were application-specific. Replacement compatibility requires configuration-level verification.
- Match the complete Brooks robot or assembly number, not only DBM-2706.
- Verify the physical label, serial number, configured wafer diameter, end effectors, vacuum arrangement, scanner, and track interface.
- Confirm the controller hardware, cables, firmware, robot parameter file, macro files, and host-tool integration.
- Treat DBM-2706-V2 as a distinct suffixed configuration rather than an exact alias for DBM-2706.
