Caution
- The product images are representative only. Specifications may vary by part number, including shape and color.
Product Description
Planeveyor designed for clean room use, made with a combination of resin and stainless steel materials.
[Features]
· By combining the material of each part—the large ball, small ball, and body—these products can be used for a variety of applications.
· Compared to conventional positioning methods using support plastic pins, these are lighter and generate less dust.
· By selecting the material of various plastics, damage to glass surfaces is minimized, making them suitable for transport and positioning according to specific requirements.
· By adopting an original special spherical surface (PAT.P), a load capacity of 4.9 N (0.5 kgf) is achieved despite its compact size (PVP model indication).
· Hole drilling in the bolt allows for the suction of fine dust that has entered the interior. (option)
[Applications]
· The ball is made of resin, minimizing damage to the workpiece, making it ideal for transporting and positioning glass in clean rooms.
Specifications of Cleanroom-Compatible Planeveyor PVP Series
Planeveyors used in cleanrooms need to have their materials and cleaning levels adjusted according to various operating environments (such as abrasion resistant, heat resistant, anti-static, vacuum environments, etc.) in manufacturing processes like glass substrate production.
At Aitec, assembly through to packaging is carried out inside a clean booth and on a clean bench. For each part, water cleaning with a dedicated cleaner is performed for degreasing, and any resin powder adhering to the surface during ball processing is removed as thoroughly as possible.

Resin properties
POM (polyacetal)
A representative engineering plastic with excellent moldability and workability.
It also has well-balanced mechanical property, and the continuous operating temperature is around 80°C. Weak against strong acids and flammable.
UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene)
Exceptional abrasion resistance (higher than POM and stainless steel) and the highest impact resistance among plastics. Highly resistant to water, but the continuous operating temperature is around 80°C.
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
A high-performance polymer resin with excellent heat resistance (continuous operating temperature 150°C), fatigue resistance, and abrasion resistance, suitable for use with all chemicals except concentrated sulfuric acid. Almost no gas elution.
PI (Polyimide)
Ultra heat-resistant resin made of 100% polyimide. (Continuous use at 250°C, with a maximum short-term use limit of 450°C)
A resin with excellent abrasion resistance that is unaffected by organic solvents, grease, or oil.
D (Dielectric type (antistatic))
In the antistatic grade, all materials are black. Used for ESD or other static electricity countermeasures with a surface resistivity of 10³ to 10⁷ Ω. Both the main body and small ball use ESD safe resin or stainless steel.

Usage Example
Usage Example 1: Direct transportation and positioning of glass substrates
It is ideal for transporting workpieces such as precision parts from automated lines and processing machines.
Usage Example 2: Workpiece transport in clean rooms
Suitable for transporting and positioning glass substrates and semiconductor parts for precision components using cleanroom-compatible planeveyors.
Planeveyor Selection Method
Due to the dimensional tolerance of the planeveyor main body and the condition of the mounting surface, it is possible that the load may not be evenly distributed across all planeveyors.
Therefore, as a guideline for the cleanroom-compatible planeveyor PVP series, please select a planeveyor based on
"Workpiece weight x 2 ≤ Planeveyor recommended operating load x Number of planeveyor on the bottom of the workpiece".
Selection Example
A reference when selecting PVP10BP-SS for a workpiece weight of 10 kg is "10 x 2 ≤ 0.5 kgf x 40 pcs."
Customer Feedback
- Previously, particles would scatter from the equipment and workpiece when parts were dragged for positioning, but switching to PVP has reduced particle dispersion.
- We are using the PVP series suitable for use in clean rooms. The resin ball makes it less likely to scratch the product, so it is easy to use.
Behind the Scenes
