ABSTRACT:
A tilt and go assembly included as part of a load port interface assembly is disclosed for providing quick and easy attachment and adjustment of the load port interface assembly to a BOLTS interface. When a load port interface assembly according to the present invention is positioned adjacent to a BOLTS interface, the assembly is tilted away from the BOLTS interface, so that a socket in the load port interface assembly may raise upward slightly and be seated on the ball joint. Thereafter, the upper portions of the load port interface assembly may be tilted upward so that the assembly is roughly parallel and adjacent to the BOLTS interface. Once the load port interface assembly is seated on the ball joint of the BOLTS interface, the vertical and lateral positions of the load port interface assembly may be adjusted as desired with respect to the BOLTS interface. Additionally, after the vertical and lateral positions of the load port interface assembly have been adjusted, the azimuth and roll angle of the load port interface assembly may be adjusted with respect to the BOLTS interface.
