Patent number: 9618857Abstract: End effectors of reticle mechanical interface pods as well as reticle handling methods are provided, which handle the reticle by the end effector by applying a lateral force and/or a downward force on the reticle during the handling to fixate the reticle to at least two supports (e.g., at least four fingers) which are attached to at least two arms of the end effector and are configured to apply an upwards force on the reticle. Hence the reticle is fixated to the end effector and can be handled with higher accelerations and at a higher throughput than current methods. End effectors may have multiple fingers to fixate the reticle, and on more pushers may apply a downwards force to further fixate the reticle to the supports.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2015Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: KLA-Tencor CorporationInventors: Igor Volkov, Daniel Men, Oshri Amzaleg

Patent number: 9377058Abstract: A flexible coupling including two body members each having an internal flexible member to cooperate with a rotational shaft and an external connecting member interconnecting two body members with each other. In order to minimize the axial length of the coupling maintaining its high torsional rigidity but enabling for compensation of substantial shafts misalignments such as parallel, angular or skewed axial misalignment, the internal flexible member passes over the coupling axis forming cavities between the flexible member and internal walls of the external connecting member in a plane perpendicular to the coupling axis and is provided with at least one flexible section between the connecting member and the coupling axis, the flexible section being substantially parallel to the coupling axis.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: KLA-Tencor CorporationInventor: Daniel Men

Patent number: 8317439Abstract: A cutting tool of the sort used for deep hole drilling has a cutting head mounted on a shank. The cutting head is formed asymmetrically with respect to a longitudinal axis and has at least one cutting edge. The cutting head has guiding segments that extend from a forward end to a rear end of the cutting head. Each of the guiding segments has a guiding pad in the periphery thereof. A forward end of the guiding pad lies on a cylindrical envelope defined by the cutting diameter of the cutting tool. A rear engagement portion of the cutting head is engaged with a forward engagement portion of the shank. The cutting head is made from sintered carbide powders and the guiding pads are integrally formed with the cutting head.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2008Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Iscar, Ltd.Inventors: Gideon Drori, Yaaqov Kisos, Eitan Gonen, Daniel Men

Patent number: 7972094Abstract: A rotary cutting tool having a longitudinal axis defining forward and rearward directions and a direction of rotation, includes a cutting head releasably mounted to a front end of a tool shank. The cutting head includes a cap portion and a rearwardly extending tail portion. The cap portion is provided with a plurality of head segments, each head segment having a rotationally leading end facing the direction of rotation and a rotationally trailing end. The trailing end of each head segment is provided with a locking member which extends in a direction opposite the direction of rotation. The tool shank has a forward end provided with a corresponding plurality of locking recesses opening out to the direction of rotation, and a shank pocket recess. In the assembled tool, the tail portion of the cutting head is received into the shank pocket recess and each of the plurality of locking members is received into a corresponding locking recess.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2008Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Iscar, Ltd.Inventors: Daniel Men, Philip Shaheen

Publication number: 20100124466Abstract: A trepanning drill having a drill axis of rotation (A) and comprising a drill bore extending rearwardly from a front portion thereof. The drill body has at least two cutting edges formed in the front portion thereof. Each of the cutting edges has a cutting external edge and a cutting internal edge. A circle passing through the cutting external edge of each of the cutting edges forms an external circle having a first diameter (D1) and a first center (A1). A circle passing through the cutting internal edge of each of the cutting edges forms an internal circle having a second diameter (D2) and a second center (A2). In an end view of the trepanning drill, the first center (A1) coincides with the drill axis of rotation (A), and, the second center (A2) is offset from the drill axis of rotation (A).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2009Publication date: May 20, 2010Applicant: Iscar, Ltd.Inventor: Daniel Men
