PLC Controller Breathes New Life Into Semitool(R) 302 Based Platforms
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 9, 2013) - ClassOne Equipment announced today that it will be demonstrating its all-new PLC controller upgrade for its remanufactured Semitool® product line at SEMICON West. The new Polaris™ control system has been developed as a field-upgradeable replacement for the antiquated Semitool 302 control system. Polaris features intuitive state-of-the-art electronics with fully configurable software for real time control, data-logging, and communications, driven by an intuitive graphical user interface, designed and developed by former Semitool veterans at ClassOne Technology, a wholly owned subsidiary of ClassOne Equipment.
The new Polaris PLC upgrade offers the following benefits and advantages:
"Semitool's Spray Solvent and Spray Acid tools have been the work-horses of the industry for decades with hundreds of units installed around the world. Because of this, refurbished tools continue to be highly sought after," said Byron Exarcos, President of ClassOne Equipment. "The Polaris control system brings all the advantages of a modern control system to a time-tested platform while maintaining and enhancing the key elements of performance and cost-effectiveness. Not only does this upgrade offer additional and useful features to the user, it eliminates the concerns over the age of a core component in tools based upon the aging Semitool 302 controllers. This competitively priced, critical update will breathe new life into an industry standard platform and extend its useful life for years."
The Polaris controller will be highlighted in ClassOne's booth (#441) at SEMICON West in San Francisco from July 9th through 11th where it will be installed in a Semitool Spray Solvent Tool. The Polaris will be offered as a stand-alone field upgrade and as an optional upgrade for tools remanufactured by ClassOne Equipment.
