Vacuum Chambers for the Development of Electro-Optical Imaging Products

Electro-Optical Imaging Products have slowly become an irreplaceable part of our everyday lives. The simplest electro optical imaging product is the camera hardware and optics in our smart phones. The word “simplest” is actually used as a relative term here because our smart phone cameras are amazing technology. There are more sophisticated Electro-Optical systems which are build through the utilization of nanocrystals / nanomaterials to be deployed as a detection tool as a defense against chemical and biological threats.

Sophisticated Electro-Optical Systems have the ability to detect, track, and quantify a certain search criterion through spectral analysis of specific signatures. This is a very fascinating field of study.

Our client came to us because they had a need for a custom-made acrylic vacuum chamber. The vacuum chamber had to be cylindrical, placed horizontally on a table top. For Easy Access, both the left and the right side of the cylinder had to be accessible; they wanted two doors to be hinged and swinging out. On the doors, they needed a liquid feedthrough, we provided them with a 1/4 inch NPT feedthrough that is threaded on the inside and outside. This will enable them the connect a tube and run their gas or liquid from inside towards outside without compromising the vacuum inside the chamber during operations. Finally, they required two additional power feedthroughs to be present on each door.

The power feedthroughs were proprietary and provided by our client – for testing purposes we used button head screws with an O-Ring on the outside to seal off the feedthrough port hole. The doors are latched with a Destaco Style Latch. You can see that we started to run out of space, but we managed to place all components onto this chamber. “What’s that you say? You want a total of two chambers? Sure, well be happy to build as many as you need”

Altitude Package ASTM D6653 Leak Testing Systems
Altitude Package (ASTM D6653) Leak Testing Systems, or Testing Systems which test the effect of higher altitude on packages are vacuum systems that consist of a vacuum chamber, a vacuum controller, and a vacuum pump. The goal of these package testing systems is intended to test and investigate the effects of higher altitudes on the seal integrity, package quality, or container closure integrity.
BNC Vacuum Feedthroughs
Coaxial Vacuum Feedthroughs are vacuum rated BNC connectors that enable you to run BNC from outside of vacuum chamber towards inside of the vacuum chamber without disturbing the vacuum. Triaxial Vacuum Feedthroughs, just like coax vacuum feedthroughs, will enable you to run Triax Connections from outside towards the inside of the vacuum chamber without disturbing the vacuum levels inside the vacuum chamber.
Our Work: Submersion Leak Testing of Explosive or Volatile Products
Ever wondered how to leak test packaged volatile products? Do you know that there are countless unstable products out there that have to be leak tested as part of quality control? By volatile we mean products which ignite, explode, shatter, melt, or are hazardous. Keep in mind that hazardous material for whatever reason has be undergo quality control as well.

In the article we are going to cover rotary vane vacuum pumps. We will touch upon how they work, what they are used for, when to utilize a rotary vane vacuum pump, its advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps you have noticed that rotary vane vacuum pumps come in all shapes and sizes. On one website, the vacuum pump is less than a $100; on another website you see a vacuum pump quotes at $10,000. I would imagine that you immediately ask yourself what the deal here is.
