GLCH Series: Cleanroom Low-Profile Actuators

Elite Performance for Contamination-Sensitive Automation

The TOYO GLCH Series is the specialized cleanroom variant of our low-profile actuator family, specifically engineered for high-tech manufacturing environments where particle control is paramount. Reaching ISO Class 4 cleanliness standards, this series combines the space-saving advantages of a built-in guide-way with specialized vacuum suction ports and low-particle generation components.

Engineered for Cleanroom Integrity

To ensure absolute reliability in controlled environments, the GLCH series incorporates advanced engineering features:

  • Integrated Vacuum Suction Ports: Strategically placed ports allow for the continuous extraction of internal wear particles, ensuring the surrounding environment remains within ISO specifications even during high-cycle operation.
  • Specialized Strip Sealing: A high-durability stainless steel strip seal prevents particle escape while protecting internal components from external contaminants.
  • Cleanroom-Grade Lubrication: Factory-supplied with specialized low-outgassing grease, reducing chemical contamination risks in sensitive electronic and medical manufacturing.

Core Performance Highlights

  • ISO Class 4 Performance: Validated for use in stringent cleanroom classes, making it the ideal choice for semiconductor, flat-panel display, and pharmaceutical automation.
  • Low-Profile Precision: Maintains the compact vertical footprint of the GLTH family, enabling more efficient multi-axis gantry designs without sacrificing cleanroom compliance.
  • High-Rigidity Motion: The integrated bearing system ensures stable performance under high moment loads, critical for precision pick-and-place and substrate handling.
  • Ready-to-Integrate: Available with single or dual carriage options ("D") for enhanced stability and high-payload horizontal transport.

Target Cleanroom Applications

The GLCH series is the premier choice for automated processes requiring elite cleanliness and precision:

  • Semiconductor Manufacturing: Ideal for wafer handling, inspection systems, and clean-environment material transport.
  • Flat Panel Display (FPD): Provides stable, low-particle motion for glass substrate processing and high-precision inspection lines.
  • Medical & Pharmaceutical: Enables contamination-free reagent dispensing, medical device assembly, and high-accuracy laboratory automation.
