Electronics and semiconductors

The manufacture of electronic devices depends on purity, precision and productivity. Our products help achieve this in the making of semiconductors and during electronics assembly. Securing safe and uncontaminated production environments, with high efficiency and low environmental impact, is not for everyone. But it is for us.

In Ultra Modern Electronic Manufacturing Factory operator in cleanroom produces Microchip for Semiconductor Industry

99.9999999%. That’s the level of purity everyday electronics depend on. That’s because everyday electronics depend on semiconductors and electronic-grade silicon that must match that purity. This is made possible with dry vacuum pumps which are instrumental in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Our patented iXM range of dry vacuum pumps is the choice of leading semiconductor and memory chip manufacturers. It also has potential to be of use in the manufacture of flat panel displays and solar panels. Its low energy consumption is best-in-class, it can work 24/7 for years before requiring service and it has a small physical footprint. 

Our product range comes into play in the making of nearly all modern consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial electronics, and medical equipment electronics. For instance, our compressors produce 100% contamination-free air to keep processes running smoothly and to maintain ultra-clean production conditions in electronics manufacturing. Our nitrogen generators (like the NGP generator) are used for nitrogen soldering and our diesel-driven generators are used to counter power breakdowns. Our MicroTorque (MT) family of tools is designed to provide accuracy, flexibility and productivity to low torque applications. These tools ensure that every screw in smartphones, watches, medical devices, vehicle electronics, and computers, are fastened just right. 

However, it must be recognized that the manufacture of semiconductor chips can be polluting. That’s where our abatement solutions come in. By virtue of the efficient and cost-effective gas abatement systems, we enable customers to address both their operational reliability needs and their CSR commitments.
