Persimmon Technologies Corp
Bedford, Massachusetts vacuum-robot maker within the Sumitomo Heavy Industries group; builds direct-drive wafer-handling robots and its own servo motors.
Persimmon Technologies Corporation is a robotics and motor manufacturer headquartered at 35 Crosby Drive in Bedford, Massachusetts. The company operates as part of the Sumitomo Heavy Industries group of Japan, which supports Persimmon's products through the Sumitomo (SHI) Cryogenics service network across North America, Europe and Asia.
Persimmon designs and builds direct-drive vacuum robots that move silicon wafers and substrates inside process chambers for semiconductor, power electronics, LED, flat panel display and advanced packaging equipment. Unlike many robot builders that buy motors from outside suppliers, Persimmon manufactures its own servo motors in-house, sizing torque, dimensions and cost to match each vacuum robot design. Its Hybrid-Field motor program, under development in the company's own motor laboratories, targets up to twice the torque output of the company's conventional motor designs.
Persimmon states that its equipment is covered by patents held in multiple countries. Field service and support for its robots reach customers through Sumitomo (SHI) Cryogenics offices in Allentown, Pennsylvania; San Jose, California; Austin, Texas; Basingstoke, United Kingdom; Darmstadt, Germany; and additional locations in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China.
