Vacuum Optics Catalogue - March 2022

Facilities
Torr Scientific’s optical inspection capability
includes a recently acquired Zygo interferometer
surface profiler. The profiler enables
highly accurate non-destructive examination
of surfaces to check thicknesses and uniformity
of X-ray anode coatings and optical
flatness and seal structure of vacuum optics
manufactured at the company. The interferometer
brings a greater level of quality
control and alongside the existing UV-Vis-IR
spectrophotometer strengthens the company’s
optical and coating test facilities.
Facilities
Torr Scientific has extended its vacuum
window processing capabilities to include
production of glass to metal seals. The facility
also allows further development of the wide
range of vacuum optical components offered
by the company. OEM and non-standard
enquiries are also welcome. A new induction
heater has been added to the glass shop and
enables the company to develop its range
of glass vacuum windows, feedthroughs
and OEM requirements for encapsulation of
X-ray and photonic components. The induction
heater adds to the current vacuum
brazing techniques applied for production of
the vacuum optic range of products.
The Torr Scientific precision machine shop
houses an XYZ CNC/Manual mill and 50”
colchester lathe. In addition to welding, helium
leak testing, cleaning and inspection facilities,
the facility manufactures components
and small UHV chambers to custom design.
CAD Engineering drawings are produced
around customer requirements and issued
for customer approval before manufacturing
proceeds.
