DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to Fig. 1, there is shown a schematic top view of a substrate processing apparatus 10. The apparatus 10 includes a substrate transport 12, substrate processing modules 14, and load locks 16. A similar substrate processing apparatus is disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,715,921 which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. PCT patent publication No. WO 94/23911 discloses an articulated arm transfer device which is also hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The apparatus 10 is adapted to process substrates, such as semiconductor wafers or flat panel displays, as is known in the art. The transport 12 includes a housing 18, a nv ' -le arm assembly 20, and a drive assembly 22. The p. -ssing modules 14 and load locks 16 are attached to sides of the housing 18. The housing 18 forms a vacuum chamber in which the arm assembly 20 can transport substrates between and/or among the load locks 16 and the processing modules 14. The arm assembly 20 is similar to that described in WO 94/23911 with substrate supporting end effectors 24. In alternate embodiments, other types of housings and/or movable arm assemblies could be used. Referring also to Fig. 1A, the drive assembly 22 is shown. The drive assembly 22 includes a frame 26, a rotational drive assembly 28, a vertical drive 30, and control circuitry 32. The drive assembly 22 is mounted to the underside of the housing 18. Referring also to Fig. 2, the frame 26 and vertical drive 30 are shown. The frame 26 includes a top flange 34, a bottom flange 36, and three side wall sections 38, 39, 40. The frame 26 forms a cage with an open front side 42. The top flange 34 is stationarily attached to a mounting flange 35 which is attached to the bottom of the housing 18. The mounting flange 35 is removably mounted to the top flange 34 of the frame 26. This allows the manufacturer to select different types of mounting flanges for using the drive assembly 22 with different types of substrate transport housings without having to tear down the drive. The rear side wall 39 has two vertically orientated tracks or rails 44. Movably mounted on the rails 44 is a carriage 52. The carriage 52 has a frame 53 with a general square ring shape and a center aperture 54. The top and bottom of the carriage frame 53 have rail bearings 56 mounted thereto that keep the carriage 52 attached to the rails 44 and movably support the carriage for vertical movement up and down along the rails 44. The bottom flange 36 has a hole 46 in its center. The vertical drive 30 is mounted to the bottom flange 36 such that a portion of the vertical drive 30 projects through the hole 46 into the interior area of the cage. The top flange 34, as seen best in Fig. 1A, also has a hole 48. A portion of a drive shaft assembly of the rotational drive assembly 28 projects through the hole 48 and through a hole in the bottom of the housing 18 into the vacuum chamber formed by the housing. A bellows 50 is provided to maintain the vacuum in the vacuum chamber, but allow the rotational drive assembly 28 to be movable relative to the housing 18. Referring also to Fig. 3, the vertical drive 30 is shown. The vertical drive 30 has a main section 58, a rotatable shaft 60, and a rider 62. The main section 58 has a housing 64, an electric motor 66, and an encoder 68. The housing 64 is stationarily attached to the bottom flange 36 of the frame 26. The motor 66 is located in the housing 64 and is adapted to axially rotate the shaft 60 relative to the housing 64. The encoder 68 comprises a first stationary piece 70 connected to the housing 64 and a second movable piece 72 connected to the bottom end of the shaft 60. The encoder 68 is preferably an optical encoder adapted to generate signals indicative of rotations of the shaft 60 relative to the housing 64 and rotational position of the shaft 60 relative to the housing 64. However, any suitable type of encoder or position sensor could be used. The top of the shaft 60 has a screw threads thereon. The rider 62 is mounted on the screw threads. The rider 62 is attached to the rotational drive assembly 28 as further described below. When the drive shaft 60 is axially rotated, the rider 62 is longitudinally moved along the shaft 60. Because the housing 64 is mounted to the frame 26 and the rider 62 is mounted to the rotational drive assembly 28, the rotational drive assembly 28 can be longitudinally moved relative to the frame 26. In an alternate embodiment, a vertical drive need not be provided, such as if the rotational drive units are stationarily connected to the cage . Figs. 4 and 5 show the rotational drive assembly 28. The rotational- drive assembly 28 includes two rotational drive units 74, 76. The two units 74, 76 are substantially identical to each other and are attached to each other in reverse orientations. Each unit 74, 76 has a frame or housing 78, an electro-magnetic coil 80, and a position signaling device 82. The frames 78 are suitably sized and shaped to be located in the cage 26 through the open front side 42. The rear side 84 of the frames 78 have a center protruding section 86 with a stepped shape to a recessed surrounding perimeter section 88. The two protruding sections 86 are sized and shaped to be received in the center aperture 54 of the carriage 52 (see Fig. 2) . The frames 78 are fixedly connected to each other to form a modular unit that is fixedly connected to the carriage 52 in a cantilever fashion. Thus, the rotational drive assembly 28 can vertically move relative to the cage 26 by means of the carriage 52 and the rails 44. In an alternate embodiment, the rails 44 could be located on opposite sides of the cage and, any suitable movable mounting could be provided including more than one carriage. As seen best in Fig. 5, the rear ends 80a of the coils 80 extend past the surrounding perimeter sections 88 of the frames 78. When the frames 78 are attached to the carriage 52, the rear ends 80a of the coils 80 extend into the center aperture 54 of the carriage 52. Thus, the center aperture 54 forms a seat for a portion of the two rotational drive electric motors. This reduces the size of the cage and rotational drive assembly as well as reducing the weight of the rotational drive assembly. Because the two coils 80 are located next to each other, this allows the placement of the two rear ends 80a in a seat of the carriage that is not excessively large. Thus, the carriage 52 does not need to be excessively large. This reduces the weight of the carriage 52. The rotational drive assembly 28 is adapted to independently axially rotate two drive shafts 92, 94 of a drive shaft assembly 90. The two shafts 92, 94 are coaxially mounted to each other. The top ends of the shaft 92, 94 are connected to the movable arm assembly 20 (see Fig. 1) as is known in the art. The lower end of the inner shaft 92 is rotatably mounted to the bottom rotational drive unit 76. The lower end of the outer shaft 94 is rotatably mounted to the top rotational drive unit 74. The drive motors include sets of permanent magnets 96 attached to the bottom ends of the shafts 92, 94. The coils 80 are energized to move the magnets 96 and, thus, rotate the shafts 92, 94. Also fixedly mounted to the bottom ends of the shafts 92, 94 are disks 98. The disks 98 include a coded aperture pattern. The position signaling devices 82 includes a light 100 and an optical sensor 102. Light from the lights 100 passes through the apertures in the disks 98 and is received by the sensors 102. The sensors 102 output a signal to the controller which indicates the rotational position of the shafts relative to the frames 78. In alternate embodiments, other types of position signaling devices could be used. In the embodiment shown, the position signaling devices 82 are located at the front side of the frames 78 at the open front side 42 of the cage 26 for relatively easy adjustment and repair. A top plate 110 is mounted to the top unit 74 with the shafts 92, 94 projecting therethrough. An O-ring seal 112 is provided to seal the top plate 110 to the top unit's frame 78. The bellows 50 is attached to the top plate 110. A bottom plate 114 is mounted to the bottom unit 76. An 0- ring seal 116 is provided to seal the bottom plate 114 to the bottom unit's frame 78. The bottom plate 114 has a hole 118 therethrough. An isolation cup 106 is mounted to the bottom plate 114 at the hole 118 with an O-ring seal 120 therebetween. Referring now to Fig. 6, the attachment of the vertical drive 30 -to the rotational drive assembly 28 will be described. As seen best in Fig. 4, the bottom of the inner shaft 92 has a receiving area 104. Located in this receiving area 104 is an isolation cup 106 that is attached to the bottom of the inner shaft 92. The isolation cup is provided to help maintain the vacuum environment in the transport housing 18. The rider 62 of the vertical drive 30 is attached to the isolation cup 106 inside the cup and inside the receiving area 104 of the inner shaft 92. The threaded section of the vertical drive shaft 60 is also located in the cup 106 and in the receiving area 104. The drive shaft 60 is coaxial with the drive shaft assembly 90. When the vertical drive shaft 60 is rotated, the rider 62 can move up or down which, in turn, moves the rotational drive assembly 28 and the drive shaft assembly 90 up or down. By locating a portion of the vertical drive in the rotational drive assembly the overall length of the drive assembly 22 is reduced. This reduces the weight of the drive assembly 22. It should be understood that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the invention. Various alternative and modifications can be devices by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alternative, modifications and variances which fall within the scope of the appended claims.
