Front Load Dual Sensor
The Front Load Dual Sensor is engineered for exceptional accuracy, reliability, and durability, making it an ideal choice for critical thin-film deposition processes. With its dual-crystal configuration, this sensor ensures continuous operation, as the backup crystal activates automatically when the primary crystal reaches its lifespan. This feature is essential for high-precision coating applications, minimizing interruptions and maintaining consistent process efficiency.
Effortless Installation & Seamless Integration
The front load design simplifies the insertion of the crystal holder, particularly in tight spaces where side insertion is not feasible. This space-saving feature enhances flexibility in various system setups, making it easy to integrate into both new and existing vacuum deposition systems.
Durable, Modular & Low-Maintenance Design
Unlike soldered alternatives, the Front Load Dual Sensor is mechanically assembled, allowing for quick and hassle-free part replacements when necessary. This modular design significantly reduces downtime, ensuring that your production line remains efficient and uninterrupted. The sensor’s robust construction provides long-term durability, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance while delivering consistent, high-quality measurement performance.
Flexible Installation Options for Maximum Compatibility
This high-performance sensor is available individually or as part of a sensor/feedthrough combination, offering customized solutions based on specific installation requirements. With options for welding or compression fittings, it seamlessly integrates with various vacuum deposition systems, ensuring maximum process adaptability.
Optimized for High-Precision Applications
Designed for thin-film monitoring in advanced manufacturing environments, the Front Load Dual Sensor supports demanding coating applications, including optical coatings, semiconductor processing, and precision industrial coatings. Its dual-crystal functionality provides a cost-effective solution, reducing the need for frequent manual interventions and improving overall system productivity.
Whether you are upgrading an existing setup or designing a new vacuum deposition process, the Front Load Dual Sensor delivers the stability, accuracy, and efficiency required to achieve superior deposition results with minimal maintenance requirements.
