Products conforming to SEMI standards
- NBK offers many products which conform to SEMI standard Section 6: Handle Design.
SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International) is a self-regulatory industry standard widely used around the world in areas including semiconductor, FPD manufacturing, and solar power-related industries. This standard recommends the use of handles conforming to the Supplier Ergonomic Success Criteria (SESC) standard, in order to create a safe, comfortable, and convenient working environment.
Immediate use of hand-wheels
- For handwheels requiring additional modification of the shaft hole, we offer an additional shaft hole modification service. These handwheels can be mounted immediately upon receipt of the product.
