Rapitran Wafer Transfer Systems

These are some of our “standard” products that have evolved from the first Rapitran design. As always, they are built to last and offer a tremendous ROI. These machines are simply the best on the market. And for 2010, the new Rapitran 3 offers an even higher level of excellence. Many great improvements such as more accurate boat and cassette sensing, simplified alignment and new linear ball bearing rails replacing the old round shafts. The Rapitran 3 is cleaner, more robust and more reliable than ever.
