  • Patent number: 11328947
    Abstract: An aligner apparatus according to one or more embodiments may include a first rotating base, a second rotating base, and a detection apparatus. The first rotating base on which a wafer placed thereon rotates around a first rotation axis line. The second rotating base on which a wafer placed thereon rotates around a second rotation axis whose position is different from that of the first rotation axis line. The detection apparatus includes one sensor for detecting the edge of the wafer, and the detection range of the sensor includes the edge of the wafer placed on the first rotating base and the edge of the wafer placed on the second rotating base, and detects the edges of the two wafers.

  • Publication number: 20220131494
    Abstract: A control device configured to control operation of an electric motor of which a rotational shaft is rotatable by an external force which servo-controls the electric motor by an inverter circuit when a voltage value between power-supply input terminals of the inverter circuit is detected to be at or above a given voltage value required for the servo-control of the electric motor, and applies dynamic braking to the electric motor by forming a short circuit in the inverter circuit when the voltage value between the power-supply input terminals of the inverter circuit is detected to be below the given voltage value.
