ABOUT US
Helios was founded in the Valley of The Sun, Phoenix, Arizona, to serve the thriving legacy semiconductor market and the industry is asking for more performance from older tool sets than they were ever designed to deliver. Legacy equipment performance improvement is expected to rise.
Helios has decades of global experience on multiple tool sets and brings that expertise and creativity to improving parts, assemblies, cost, and maintenance efficiencies through upgrades.
As an example, Helios has identified, engineered and solved an inherent, intermittent particle issue. This example demonstrates improvements to a part, assembly and upgrade with ROI in mind.
Helios is able to analyze limitations and failure points of existing parts/assemblies and have the bandwidth to focus on real solutions instead of only ‘fixes,’ thus providing long term manufacturing solutions.
We invite you to share your unique issues, concerns and requirements with us so we provide you with cost effective solutions.
