Brooks Instrument Resource: Stable Gas Flow for Glass Coating

Supplier Resource

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.
