Vacuum Engineering
pdf format (80 kb)
The Manufacturing, Science and Technology Center engineers, fabricates, assembles, and characterizes vacuum systems, components, and processes. Staff can trouble shoot and upgrade existing vacuum systems.
Capabilities:
- Engineering expertise to define, design and fabricate vacuum furnaces, deposition systems and any vacuum environment based process or experimental system
- Computer-aided engineering of systems including parametric 3-D solid modeling with ProDesktop (Parametric Design)
- Outgassing rate measurements and mass spectroscopy of materials and components
- Machining and welding capability for constructing unique vacuum components for prototype or production applications
Resources:
- Experienced design engineering and fabrication staff
- Autocad and ProDesktop CAD capabilities
- Machining and welding tools
- Permanent and portable clean rooms for vacuum system assembly
Accomplishments:
- Engineered and fabricated aluminum UHV research systems for plasma physics experiments and neutron detector calibration source
- Fabricated and designed UHV system for in situ real time stress measurements of metal hydride films
- Engineered and fabricated several complex vacuum processing systems including deposition and exhaust tools
