Profitable and Flexible Semiconductor CNC Machining

Automating the CNC manufacturing of vacuum chambers, wafer stages and other machine parts makes semiconductor machine building more ergonomic, profitable and flexible. CNC automation enables high spindle hours and resource utilization, takes care of part transfers between operations, maximizes quality and enables full part traceability. Want to know how? Download our CNC automation guide from below!

Fastems is the leading supplier of CNC automation solutions for high mix & low volume manufacturing. We’re an open-integrator with over 40 years and 5,000 systems worth of experience – many of them in the semiconductor machine building i.e. photolithography, etching, deposition, ion implantation, CMP and metrology machines. We integrate your CNC machines and supportive processes to one highly productive system operated by the industry-leading high-mix CNC automation control MMS.

The ‘What’, ‘Why’ and ‘How’ of Automation

Take a look on the typical applications, the production challenges, automation benefits and the best practices around automation below to understand the relevance of CNC automation for the semiconductor machine builders.
