Convert Any Legacy Manual-Control Deposition System to an Automated System

Whatever electron beam evaporation system you’re currently using, you can transform it into an automated system with Ferrotec’s new FerroVac controller. The FerroVac controller integrates automated vacuum control with gauge reading functionality. When combined with the Temescal EBC Electron Beam Controller and a Temescal power supply, you can update your legacy deposition workhorse with advanced full system-level, automated control of the vacuum pump and e-beam functions. It’s like adding a process auto-pilot — start a run and walk away!
