HISTORICAL ENGINEERING DOCUMENTATION
The engineering record below documents the development and validation of Adolfo H. Rivera’s
2-Year Ceramic Hybrid Robot Bearing PM — Phase 1 of the Wafer-Transfer Robot Bearing Lifecycle Reliability Architecture.
The work originated inside Philips Corporation while Rivera was responsible for reliability and service on Applied Materials ENDURA® systems at IBM’s East Fishkill site.
The May 21, 1999 HP Robot Hub Bearing Engineering Report documents the engineering analysis, development, and validation that shifted the OEM BKM lifecycle boundary from 6 months to 2 years.
The work was subsequently presented at the Applied Materials ENDURA® Users Worldwide Meeting on March 6, 2000 and later established as an industry BKM.
Phase 1 provides the documented engineering precedent for the next-generation 10-Year Robot Bearing Lifecycle Reliability Architecture.
