Manufacturing of semiconductor chips involves cutting the wafers, first: The process is known as wafer dicing and produces “chips” or “die”. Typical challenges in wafer dicing applications include ...

Once viewed as "guideways for the rich and famous," air bearings use in the last two years has been driven by explosive growth in two application areas: flat panel displays and hard disk drives. But ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Most motion applications use mechanical bearing guidance. However, there are many cases in which precision, angular ...
