Publication number: 20230347664Abstract: A printer includes a substrate support, a printhead assembly, first and second actuators, and a controller. The printhead assembly deposits material on a substrate supported on the substrate support. The first actuator is disposed at a side of the substrate support and coupled to a first linear track disposed along the side of the substrate support and oriented in a first direction. The second actuator is disposed at an end of the substrate support and coupled to a second linear track disposed along the end of the substrate support and oriented in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first and second actuators are positioned to engage with the substrate simultaneously. The controller moves the first and second actuators together to rotate the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: Kateeva, Inc.Inventors: Eashwer Chandra Vidhya Sagar Kollata, Digby Pun, Cormac McKinley Wicklow, Gregory Lewis

Publication number: 20220181596Abstract: A system may include a support surface for supporting a substrate, a plurality of first passages arranged to distribute flows of a first gas to establish a gas bearing to float the substrate above the support surface, and a plurality of second passages arranged to distribute flows of a second gas to convey the substrate along the support surface. A method may include floating a substrate above a support surface of a substrate support apparatus via a gas bearing; and while floating the substrate, conveying the substrate along the support surface by flowing gas toward a surface of the substrate and in a nonperpendicular direction relative to the surface of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2022Publication date: June 9, 2022Applicant: KATEEVA, INC.Inventors: Digby PUN, Cormac McKinley WICKLOW
