  • Method and device for separating silicon wafers
    Publication number: 20080146003
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separation of a silicon wafer (12a) from a vertical stack (10) of silicon wafers (12). The method is characterised in that it comprises attaching a movable transport device (2) to a surface of the silicon wafer (12a) in the stack (10), and horizontal movement of the silicon wafer (12a) parallel (A) to the surface of the silicon wafer (12a) until the silicon wafer (12a) is separated from the stack (10). The invention also comprises a device for implementing the method.

  • Automated butt splicer for copper-based tapes
    Patent number: 5871137
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for reliable splices to be made in hard-rolled copper and alloy tapes without buckling or overlap and with splices that are stronger than the tape metal, itself. The invention permits an operator to load a second reel of tape in position such that when a first reel is exhausted, the system will automatically butt splice the tail end of the first tape to the front end of the second tape without the presence of the operator.
