Handheld leak and gas detectors (interchangeable sensors)
Portable detectors for field leak localization with modular sensor options for refrigerants, CO2, combustible gases and other tracers, with cloud-assisted modes and portable accessories.
Electrolyte leak testers for battery manufacturing (inline/high-throughput)
Inline-capable electrolyte leak detection systems optimized for minimal chamber volume, multiple-chamber cascading, pneumatic interfaces for pre-evacuation and system SPS integration; supports inline calibration and cycle times targeted below 15 seconds in optimized configurations.
Vacuum gauges and controllers (multi-technology)
Range of vacuum and pressure sensors (capacitance diaphragm, Pirani, hot/cold ionization) and controllers for process measurement, control and data recording with multiple digital and analog interfaces for harsh environments.
QCM-based deposition controllers and sensors
High-resolution controllers and quartz-crystal sensors for in-situ thickness and rate control in optical coating and vacuum deposition processes, with front-loading dual-crystal sensor heads.
Residual gas analyzers and process gas monitors
Mass-spectrometry and optical gas analysis instruments for gas composition analysis, contamination monitoring and process optimization in vacuum environments.
Handheld infrared methane detector (LDAR)
Rugged, intrinsically safe handheld instrument using infrared absorption for methane detection across a wide dynamic range, targeted at LDAR programs and field emission surveys.
