Front Load Single Sensor
Front Load Single Sensor is designed for exceptional reliability, long-lasting durability, and superior thermal stability, making it the ideal choice for accurate thin-film thickness monitoring. These sensors are specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of thin-film deposition processes, ensuring precise and consistent measurements across various applications.
The front load design of the Front Load Single Sensor enables effortless crystal holder insertion, particularly in tight spaces where side insertion is not possible. This space-saving feature allows for seamless integration into compact system configurations, improving adaptability and ease of use.
Unlike traditional soldered sensors, the Front Load Single Sensor is mechanically assembled, meaning parts can be quickly replaced in the field if needed. This modular construction helps reduce system downtime, keeping your thin-film deposition setup running smoothly with minimal maintenance.
We offer the Front Load Single Sensor both individually and as part of a sensor/feedthrough combination, providing customized solutions for various installation needs. With options for welding or compression fittings, it ensures seamless compatibility with different vacuum deposition systems.
Whether you are retro fitting an existing system or installing a new thin-film coating setup, the Front Load Single Sensor delivers the precision, reliability, and accuracy required for high-quality deposition results.
