Custom Vacuum Designs

Over the years xtronix has delivered many custom designed products, both systems and components. xtronix custom designs removes the burdensome task of design engineering, parts procurement, assembly, testing and final qualification. We work with suppliers, often companies we actively distribute products of, to obtain the best price and delivery, leaving our customers more time to focus on their own applications and less time worrying about all the intricacies of custom designs. Solid Sealing Technology (SST) partners with us for various custom feedthrough assemblies. Here is an overview of their capabilities:

DESIGN REVIEW
The basis of most Solid Sealing Technology products is ceramic-to-metal sealing and/or glass-ceramic sealing. The process of making your custom part(s) begins with a comprehensive review of engineering needs that ensures a complete understanding of the application’s requirements. A skilled team will define a production plan that gets you your hermetic feedthroughs and connectors quickly. 

MATERIAL SOURCING
SST materials and components are sourced from world-class suppliers. Detailed documentation and specifications are available for all custom hermetic feedthroughs and connectors to ensure the materials meet your needs. 

PRECISION CLEANING
All components at SST must meet strict standards and are processed through a customized cleaning system. The standardized process includes a specialty aqueous cleaner followed by a cascade DI water rinse. This cleaning process has been used and approved by key customers like Sandia National Labs and the United States' Army. The same process can be used for precision cleaning of metals, ceramics, and glass and is suitable for UHV environments. SST will ship your custom hermetic products sealed so they are ready to use out of the box. 

MANUFACTURING
With your production plan in place, SST will begin manufacturing your parts. Whether you are creating a completely new custom hermetic product or modifying one of our many hermetic feedthroughs or connectors, we offer a technology suite that will meet your needs. SST offers metalizing and plating of ceramics, active metal joining, vacuum and hydrogen brazing, glass-ceramic sealing, TIG welding, spot welding, machining, and mechanical assembly. 

FINAL INSPECTION & TESTING
SST verifies all critical requirements before shipping, and the customer service team will provide any product-related resources you need. SST offers vacuum-bagging and other special packaging options if needed. Parts will arrive clean and ready to use out of the box.

Calibrated tools, vision systems, and a CMM are used to verify mechanical attributes. And electrical requirements are validated with the latest electrical test equipment. SST is certified compliant to ISO9001:2015 and often works within the more stringent requirements of defense and medical customers.

• Helium Leak Detection – 100% of SST parts are leak tested before shipping. Parts are tested to a leak rate of less than 1x10^-10 atm.cc/sec
• Pressure Testing - Hydrostatic Pressure testing up to 30,000 psi
• Electrical Testing – Continuity, HiPot/DWV (Dielectric Withstanding Voltage), Megohm Resistance, Capacitance, Heat Rise Testing
• Physical Testing - Torque, Push-Pull Testing, Engagement Force Measurement
• CMM, Vision Systems, Go/No-Go thread and pin gauges, Surface Profilometer, and certified metrology equipment for inspection and analysis
• XRF Thickness Testing of Coatings & Material Verification
• Basic Thermal Testing: LN2 exposure, vacuum bakeout
• Fiber Optic Insertion Loss Testing

Whole body counter WBC - HPGe detector based

Whole body counter developed by Baltic Scientific Instruments is intended for location and analysis of radionuclides in human body. The system is flexible to perform analysis of nearly any part of the body like joints, lungs, thyroid, etc. Having two HPGe detectors, the system provides outstanding measurement result in terms of accuracy and measurement speed. Depending of HPGe detector type (GCD or GCDX) it is possible to cover wide energy range, which means the list of radionuclides is so big that nothing will remain without attention of the specialist.

 

In some cases, longer acquisition is required, therefore, the examined person has comfortable ergonomic chair to be fixed for long measurement and still feel comfortable. Hydraulic mechanism of the chair together with adjustable positioning mechanisms of detectors allow to pick up almost any point of the body for measurement, keeping the examined person relaxed.

 

From the point of view of the specialist (operator), the software interface remains simple and intuitive allowing to control both HPGe detectors simultaneously summing the measurement result or operating each HPGe detector separately.

 

After measurement is finished, the operator will be able to see use electronic version of the report or print it out with one click. Content of the report is possible to adjust according to specific needs by editing the report template.

Features

• Quantitative and qualitative analysis using high-resolution HPGe detectors
• Adjustable to measure any part of the body
• Comfortable for the examined person
• Available with one or multiple HPGe detectors
• Option: available with scintillation detectors like NaI, LaBr, SrI, etc.
• Simple and intuitive software interface
• Automatic filling station for LN2

Simple and Fast Cryocooling for Thin Films

Using the CryoLab S or CryoLab MSG you can perform various types of measurements on your thin film sample including:

1. - Critical temperature characterisation
2. - Van der Pauw measurements
3. - Seebeck coefficient
4. - Thermal properties and many more

Using The CryoLab, it is possible to characterise your thin film from 373 Kelvin down to cryogenic temperatures.

Applications for the CryoLab cryocooler

Measurements at cryogenic temperatures were never this easy!

We recently launched a new line of plug-n-play desktop cryocoolers for applications requiring cooling of small samples to 90 K or further down to 75 K (i.e. SQUIDs).

 

Known as CryoLab, by Kryoz Technologies of Holland, the LN2-free low-temperature analysis cooling systems allow for  characterisation measurements from room temperature down to cryogenics in a fully automated manner. Doing measurements doesn’t require any experience or know-how on cryogenics, vacuum technology or thermodynamics from the user.
