Global Semicon Automation Partnership

January 15, 2009 By Editor Leave a Comment

Pleasanton, CA – The Bosch Rexroth Corporation announced it will provide precision linear motion solutions for a leading semiconductor automation company located in Fremont, CA, with manufacturing in Asia.

Under the agreement implemented from its Technology Center West in Pleasanton, CA, Bosch Rexroth will supply Ball Rail linear motion guides with cleanroom greases. Also in the testing stage are precision rolled ball screws.

The customer, who makes automation equipment for semiconductor, flat panel display and related industries, prefers to remain anonymous for proprietary reasons.

Lisa Cavolina, Key Account Manager at the Bosch Rexroth Technology Center West, said the relationship was solidified earlier this year after a team had worked together to make what she called the “global handshake” possible.

“When we entered the relationship, our customer was in the midst of an aggressive cost-reduction program which we were able to support by meeting their cost models and product improvement goals,” Cavolina said. “Bosch Rexroth has capabilities all around the world, so we are providing engineering services, product samples and testing from both California and our Charlotte, NC facility, while Bosch Rexroth in Asia supplies the components and local support for the customer’s manufacturing located there. It really is a seamless and ideal relationship,” she added.
