Applications
Staubli Unimation is one of the foundational names in industrial robotic automation; the Unimation division pioneered programmable robotic arms and was widely adopted in semiconductor fabrication and wafer handling during the 1980s and 1990s before the brand was acquired by Stäubli. The SCM III (System/Controller Module) card of this type served as a core control and system management board within the FSI Polaris platform — a wafer handling and surface conditioning system used extensively in semiconductor fabs for wet cleaning, surface preparation, and automated wafer transport between process chambers. These controller cards managed motion sequencing, I/O communication, and system coordination within the robotic wafer-handling architecture. Spare PCAs like this one were kept on-hand by semiconductor fabs to minimize downtime; as FSI Polaris systems aged out of primary production lines, spare boards moved into secondary markets to support ongoing maintenance of legacy tools still running in lower-volume or research environments. This card is well suited for facilities maintaining FSI Polaris equipment and needing a Rev F SCM III WEC replacement or standby spare.
This Staubli Unimation W.211.118.00 Rev F WEC PCA SCM III card has been inspected and appears to be in good condition. It came to us as a backup spare from a local semiconductor company that no longer needed it in their inventory — the card was never put into active service as a spare replacement. The PCB shows typical minor handling wear consistent with storage. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
