MTR5

Brooks Automation MultiTran 5 ( ) Vacuum Wafer-Transfer Robot

About this part

MTR5 identifies the Brooks Automation MultiTran 5, a dual-arm vacuum wafer-transfer robot for semiconductor cluster-tool automation. Manufacturer specifications describe digital motion control, a servo-motor and capstan drive, a ferro-fluidic rotational-axis seal, a dual frog-arm/band-joint mechanism, 875 mm reach, and 0.26 mm placement repeatability. The MTR5 designation does not identify the drive suffix, arm assembly, end effector, customer integration, or wafer-size configuration of a particular unit; replacement matching requires the complete label information

Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.

MTR5 Is Not VTR5

Brooks identifies MultiTran 5 and VacuTran 5 as distinct vacuum-transfer robot models. VacuTran 5 and VTR5 are not exact aliases for MTR5.

Configured-Unit Identification

MTR5 establishes the robot model, not every installed option or service assembly.

Model-level identityBrooks Automation MultiTran 5 vacuum wafer-transfer robot
Replacement matchingUse the complete Brooks part number and revision from the physical label
Arm and substrate configurationVerify the arm-assembly and end-effector numbers; observed 200 mm configurations do not establish a universal wafer size
Equipment integrationConfirm customer part numbers, controller, interfaces, clearances, and process-tool compatibility separately
