AML's UHV compatible D-series stepper motors are highly customisable. There are a wide range of standard options that tailor the motor for compatibility with specific environments, alongside unique application specific modifications designed by the end user. This blog post will give an overview of all the available modifications, starting with the standard options. D-Series Stepper Motors Option C: Option C is the cryogenic version of the standard motor. This extends the operational temp... Read more
What filament material should I use with my ion gauge?
Posted on Monday 21st August 2023 at 12:30
This blog post will discuss the key factors to consider when choosing the filament material type for your ion gauge. Filament type selection is a complex subject largely dependent on the vacuum environment they will be used in. AML offers three filament material types, these are Tungsten (FIL17), Thoria-coated Iridium (FIL18) and Yttria-coated Iridium (FIL19). These are available to purchase fitted to an ion gauge or as replacement filament assemblies. Let's start by discussing the most common f... Read more
Custom UHV High Load (Rigid) Rotation Stage
Posted on Tuesday 18th July 2023 at 12:34
Arun Microelectronics Ltd is proud to share our latest custom UHV stage. Custom UHV High Load (Rigid) Rotation Stage A customer contacted AML about a unique application that required a UHV compatible rotation stage with a centred load capacity of 220kg and 0.005° resolution. This is beyond the specification of any existing AML rotation stage, so a custom design was required. The design process began and AML worked in close collaboration with the end user to ensure their full requirem... Read more
