Import Tips

• Include boule diameter specifications (150-450mm) and weight capacity in technical documentation

• Certify vacuum or contactless gripping mechanisms suitable for pure monocrystalline material

• Distinguish from general material handlers by proving exclusive semiconductor boule application
