Liquid leakage sensors

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides technical specifications and solutions for liquid leak detection sensors used in semiconductor wet processes. It highlights the challenges and solutions associated with sensor installation and maintenance.
Specifications: The document outlines a range of sensors, including the HPQ-D_ _ and HPF-D040 models, designed for detecting liquid leaks in batch and single wafer cleaning equipment. These sensors are compatible with various chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and organic solvents.
Current Issues: The document identifies several issues with conventional sensors, including slow error recovery, difficulty in selecting the right model for specific chemicals, and challenges in detecting leaks under equipment due to sensor size and cable direction.
Solutions:
  • Solution 1: Optical sensors allow for quick and easy maintenance, as they can be restarted by simply wiping the detecting surface.
  • Solution 2: The sensors are designed for a variety of chemicals and environments, with models available in PP, PVC, and PFA materials.
  • Solution 3: The thin structure of models HPQ-D1_ and HPQ-D2_ (10.5 mm thick) allows for installation in tight spaces.
  • Solution 4: A locking mechanism ensures secure installation, preventing the sensor from being displaced.
Installation and Maintenance: The sensors are designed for easy installation with side cable entry and mounting. The support lever locking mechanism helps maintain the sensor's position.
Additional Information: The document notes that specifications are subject to change and provides a URL for terms and conditions. It also mentions the rebranding of Yamatake Corporation to Azbil Corporation.

Liquid leakage sensors-1

azbil Semiconductors Wet process A full lineup of sensors that reliably detect liquid leaks Discrete sensors Product name Liquid-leak switch with built-in amplifier/ Liquid-leak detection fiber-optic sensor Process and equipment name Batch, single wafer cleaning equipment Current Issues Current Situation ■ Using sensing bands to detect leaks ■ Installation in a low location ■ Various types of liquids ■ Dense wiring ■ Error recovery and maintenance are too slow. ■ Selecting the right model for the chemical/solvent takes time. ■ Can’t detect leaks under equipment: sensor doesn’t fit or cable direction is wrong. ■ Wires get pulled, leaving the sensor in the wrong place or hanging in the air. Conventional products cannot be put under equipment. BU No.: DIS-03-001

Liquid leakage sensors-2

Maintenance of optical sensors is quick and easy After leak detection, simply wipe off the detecting surface to restart the sensor. With optical sensors, the conductivity of the liquid does not matter. Products designed for a variety of chemicals and environments PP, PVC, and PFA models with built-in amplifier are available. A PFA fiber-optic model whose detector does not conduct electricity is available. Thin structure allows for installation in tight spaces Models HPQ-D1_ and HPQ-D2_ are just 10.5 mm thick. The cable comes from the side of the sensor, and mounting is also from the side. Locking...
