Product catalog summary
Overview
The document introduces the L-MOTION valve, a high-speed transfer valve designed for corrosive semiconductor processes and loadlock applications, compatible with 450 mm wafer technology. It highlights the valve's features, benefits, and technical specifications.

Specifications
The L-MOTION valve is available in Series 04.3 and 05.3, designed for 200, 300, and 450 mm semiconductor processes. It is particularly suited for corrosive environments such as Etch and CVD. The valve features a reliable actuator with integrated sequence control, fully protected bellows feedthrough, and optimized gate seal shapes. It offers adjustable closing force for different elastomers and is pneumatically locked in both closed and open positions.

Benefits
The valve provides excellent gate seal lifetime in corrosive processes, high-speed and smooth operation, and a high yield through low particle count. The first bellows replacement is required after 3 million cycles.

Maintenance
Maintenance is quick and simple, with easy access for gate exchange through a service cover, self-alignment of the gate without loose parts, and straightforward bellows replacement.

Technical Data
The valve operates at room temperature (25°C) under clean environmental conditions, with maximum values depending on operating conditions and sealing materials. It supports a pressure range of 1 × 10-9 mbar to 1.2 bar (abs) for metal blank or nickel-plated surfaces, and 1 × 10-6 mbar to 1.2 bar (abs) for aluminum, hard anodized surfaces. The actuator cycle life is ≥ 3 million, with a temperature limit of ≤ 120°C.

Dimensions and Options
The document provides detailed dimensions for different valve sizes and offers options for different opening sizes, surface treatments, sealing materials, and heated/cooled versions. Solenoid options for impulse actuation are available in various voltages.
