Henniker Scientific Ltd of Warrington, UK says that its TMC13 deposition rate controller, a multi-channel device (launched last May) for control of film thickness and rate in vacuum-based thin-film deposition processes, is now available with a new video driver facility, allowing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to upload service and maintenance procedures as video files for easy access and viewing direct from the device display.
The firm says that the TMC13's feature-rich touch-screen interface can be customized to suit a particular operator preference and operated in both automatic and manual modes, providing a direct display and control of film thickness, deposition rate and frequency value for up to six independent deposition sources.
The device also includes shutter relays for each channel, two trip inputs for connection of pressure gauges, and two re-transmission analogue outputs as standard, as well as an extensive and fully editable materials library.
