Common Applications

AngleLock structural systems are used across semiconductor for these critical applications:

Wafer handling systems

Equipment frames for fab environments

Vibration-isolated platforms

EUV lithography support structures

Automated material handling systems

Cleanroom-compatible enclosures

Why Semiconductor Companies Choose AngleLock

Leading semiconductor organizations depend on AngleLock technology because traditional aluminum framing and welded steel structures can't deliver the combination of strength, precision, and flexibility their applications demand.

Our patented 5-plane anchoring system creates mechanically locked joints that actually tighten under vibration while maintaining the modularity needed for evolving production requirements.
