Boat Handles – Quartz Self Locking

Description

The G2 Automated Technologies, LLC Saf-Lok™ Self-Locking Quartz Boat Handle is specially designed for the Secur-Lok™ series of Quartz ConGTAWuous Boats and Half-ConGTAWuous Boats. The handle incorporates a quick lift and quick release mechanical movement that provides for easy use with high security.

The handle features a specially contoured self-locking mechanism that holds the boat in place securing the handle to the boat is as simple as sliding the handle under the edge of the boat and lifting gently. The locking mechanism pivots automatically, securing the boat to the handle. To release the boat, gently set the boat down and the locking mechanism will release and pivot out of the way.

The handle’s pistol grip is ergonomically designed to ensure a firm grip while reducing the risk of carpal-tunnel syndrome. The grip is available in four different colors (grey, red, white, and blue) to help operators to differentiate between process types or other system restrictions. Grey is most typically used for LPCVD processes, while the other colors are generally used for Doped, Oxide, and Metal processes.

All components in direct contact with the process boats are made of your choice of either Vespel, Meldin 7001, or PEEK. The handle frame is made of electro-polished 316 stainless steel which provides a strong rigid support for the boat. The handle can easily support the weight of fifty 150mm silicon wafers with essentially no deflection. The design provides a handle that is highly maneuverable in the clean room and light weight for easy storage.
