Welding Facility
Welding is a critical part of vacuum component manufacture and quality of welds largely determines the ultimate performance of of the vacuum system. ITL's highly skilled welders have developed TIG welding to achieve high quality and reliable, ultra high vacuum fabrications.
All welding operations are carried out with ITL's Theaklen Drive fabrication factory. Every welded item is helium leak tested as standard procedure. Certificates of conformity and leak test certificates can be provided on request. Items welded can be as varied as large batch production of standard vacuum components from 10mm to 250mm diameter, or the assembly of precision aligned multi-ported UHV chambers up to two metres in diameter.
