New Mounting Tower for Process Gas Analyzer

An all-new vertical and mobile mounting tower gives the Hiden HPR-30 low-pressure process gas analyzer stable support for mounting directly to small and light-loading process chamber ports at heights up to 1.8M(6ft).

The HPR-30, operating in the pressure regime 1mbar through to ultra-high vacuum, provides real-time measurement of gas composition in multiple low-pressure processes including vacuum coating, plasma etch and deposition, ALD and CVD for example.

The quadrupole mass spectrometer-based system is complete with differential turbo-molecular pumping, on-board vacuum gauge. selector valves for auto-switching between system base and process pressure, PC interface and Hiden MASsoft control program.

The system is fully programmable for automated operation and data reporting. Multiple I/O channels enable two-way communication with the process control system to maintain process integrity, providing confirmation of process gas status, gas control valve function and shut-off efficiency, contamination levels and air leakage ingress, and the HPR-30 additionally functions as a very high sensitivity leak detector selectable for optimized operation with helium or any alternative search gas.
