12.5 Overhaul
The recommended maintenance intervals for different process applications are
tabulated below:
Process Period Remarks
Metal Etch 1 year Ensure that TMS (Temperature Management
System) is fitted and operational to prevent
accumulation of by-product deposition in the
pump.
Other Etch
Processes
2 years
Etching
*1
It is recommended to change the pump rotor after 5 years due to accumulated wear of
the protective plating material
Other semiconductor
process
2 years Processes resulting in accumulation of deposits in
the pump will require more frequent service.
Clean applications
(Only vacuum pumping)
5 years
Other use (2 years) Dependent on application, contact BOC Edwards
or our local Service office.
◇ The touch down bearing inside the STP pump will be worn out after a
number of full speed touch downs. When the STP control unit
displays "w," it is essential to have the touch down bearings
replaced.
The costs of replacing parts that need to be replaced because of deterioration or
abrasion will be at your own charge.
When overhaul of the STP pump or the STP control unit is needed, contact BOC
Edwards or our local Service office.
