Vacuum Deposition / CVD System – Multi-Component High-Vacuum Processing Assembly

ITEM-50636

Vacuum Deposition / CVD System – Multi-Component High-Vacuum Processing Assembly

This system is sold on behalf of a client where it is no longer required.

The equipment consists of a complete vacuum deposition / CVD assembly with associated control electronics, vacuum components, high-vacuum pumps, RF power supplies, actuators, and sensors. The frame was originally manufactured in 1998 and was extensively retrofitted in 2011 with updated components. According to system logs, the last use was in 2021.

The system is offered as-is / for parts / repair, as the machine has not been fully powered or tested. Only the control cabinet has been energised. The system was not fully connected and lacked a password, preventing further testing or verification of safety compliance.

The system comprises the following major components:
