The RS-C is a fully automated, highly flexible standalone storage and inspection system for 6" reticles based on a modular,
cartesian platform. The flexibility offered in size, features and functionality make it ideal for a variety of applications
in new or existing production facilities. The RS-C system supports reticle storage, retrieval and transfer between a variety of reticle carrier types. The high
throughput the RS-C achieves optimizes reticle logistics and scanner/stepper utilization.
