Custom-made Ceramic
and Glass Components
Instrumentation
We specialize in high-precision components for advanced analytical and engineering instrumentation.
Examples include:
- Accurately machined alumina components for electrical insulation. Alumina was chosen as the preferred material, as the equipment operated at high temperature and ultra-high vacuum.
- Prototype and preproduction quantities of complex spacers made from MACOR® machinable ceramic. MACOR® has a particularly high dielectric strength, which is useful for very high voltage application.
- Quartz capillary tubing for thermal processing of materials prior to analysis by mass spectrometer
- Purpose-made crucibles in unusual materials, used as evaporation sources
- Instrument windows, including X-Ray shielding and UV blocking glasses
- Polished alumina spheres used in check valves for control of corrosive liquids
