I wish videos were to the point. I really wanted to know how the wafer is moved. But it goes on and on about history and what the machines are like and light sources.

True, but the comparison with old technology makes the video more interesting. The replacement for the hydraulic actuators and also the twin scanning system are motivated by the historical development.

I just wanted to see it moving but the video doesn't ever deliver on that.

Details were missing and it was surprising that 120 wafers per hour boils down to 1 every two minutes. I got further confused when an earlier x/y positioning was related to a later vertical positioning in context of magnetic levitation.

> 120 wafers per hour boils down to 1 every two minutes

Unsure if I’m missing something, but the math looks inverted…120 an hour is two per minute, by the numbers…

To deal with that I often watch at 2x and scroll aggressively.
