Brooks Instrument Resource: Stable Gas Flow for Glass Coating 1In the competitive world of architectural glass, quality and efficiency are important. Manufacturers rely on Magnetron Sputter Vacuum Deposition (MSVD) to apply high-performance low-emissivity (low-e) coatings that boost a building’s energy efficiency. Achieving uniform coatings and high production yields comes down to two essential things: the stable, reliable delivery of process gases and precise low-pressure control within the vacuum chamber.

This application note from Brooks Instrument details the challenges and simple solutions for this key process. It describes how integrating high-accuracy instruments like the SLA Series Digital Mass Flow Controllers and XacTorr® Series Vacuum Capacitance Manometers enables the real-time automation and long-term stability needed to keep your MSVD line running profitably. If you’re looking to reduce waste, increase throughput, and maintain coating quality, this is a great resource.

Cross Company partners with Brooks Instrument to provide you with more than just great flow components. We offer comprehensive local support, technical expertise, system integration, and calibration services. Let us help you maximize the reliability and performance of your critical gas flow and vacuum control systems.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
