How the SNAP External Valve Solves Vent Speed Control

The SNAP Vacuum Controller & Controlling Venting Speed The Issue A customer came to DigiVac and expressed the desire to control a vacuum chamber.  One specific requirement they had was to be able to vent the chamber in X amount of time.  With that in mind, our DigiVac RnD team went to work to take measurements on the venting speed of an off-the-shelf SNAP Vacuum Controller.   Research and Development For some insight, the SNAP Vacuum Controller has a built-in vent valve that allows users to vent to certain setpoints, as well as vent to atmosphere.  Unfortunately, it didn’t vent as

How Durable Are The Corrosion Resistant Pirani Sensors?

CORROSION RESISTANT SENSORS | How Durable are They? Back in May, an article was released about the new corrosion resistant pirani vacuum sensors.  Previously, sensors were limited due to the exposed materials that were subject to corrosive gasses and aggressive etch processes, which we at DigiVac and our customers have observed as well.   Thus, with the introduction of the corrosion resistant pirani sensors, there exists an option for a more durable vacuum sensor.  These come with a protective coating, acting as a barrier against any aggressive gasses.  It either comes in a ceramic or Parylene coating. CERAMIC VS. PARYLENE Ceramic is advantageous in that it is highly corrosion resistant,

How to Set a Recipe on the SNAP

How to Set a Recipe on the SNAP How does the SNAP make Vacuum Science Simple? A little while ago, we released a short and simple video about setting a recipe for a SNAP Vacuum Controller, and in today’s blog, we’ll be highlighting in detail how to set a recipe for those who prefer reading instructions.  Now, if you’re new here, you might be wondering: What is a SNAP? SNAP stands for Simple, Nimble, Automatic Process and is a vacuum controller that essentially automates your processes.  It provides precise measurement, control, and venting all in one neat little box that
