ScalarGauge™ SG Vacuus
Scalar Technologies is pleased to introduce SGVacuus, an in-situ broadband optical monitoring system designed to offer excellent monitoring and control of the deposition process in vacuum chambers. Utilising Scalar Technologies expertise and understanding of spectroscopy, this new product delivers direct recording of broadband spectra from production substrates. With a novel and expedient software architecture, SGVacuus allows characterisation and remote monitoring of the deposition process from a controlling station or remotely located networked controller.
The measurement approach removes the need for any form of external synchronisation with drum speed, which in turn allows increased flexibility and simplicity of installation and monitoring set up. The SGVacuus broadband optical monitor is purpose designed to be easily integrated into both new and existing vacuum coating chambers and fully integrated with the coating process. Our approach was to engineer the product such that no modifications to the chamber are required.
Whether your application involves the integrated monitoring and control of ophthalmic AR coatings, or an in-line web coating or batch system, or an ITO deposition and monitoring application or simply a general purpose broadband monitor, SGVacuus can provide the answer. Optical monitoring is the only way to obtain a direct measurement of the true optical thickness of a layer and with a broadband monitor a more complete analysis is obtained.
Scalar Technologies is committed to the ongoing development of SGVacuus to increased control capabilities and performance through software upgrades. Please contact us directly for full details on this exciting product development.
