DigiVac Launches Novel Vacuum Gauge For High Vacuum Region At AVS
DIGIVAC— is excited to exhibit New Technology at AVS 2015—the 62nd International Symposium and Exhibition on October 18th-23rd at the San Jose Convention Center, in San Jose, California.
OptraVac | Addresses the Need of High Accuracy By Direct Measurement in the High Vacuum Region (1×10-3 to 1×10-7 Torr).
OPTRAVAC is the only Isolated and Passive sensor technology on the market. Unlike any other medium and high vacuum measurement technology currently available, it is immune to electromotive pulse (EMP), electrical interference, and magnetic interference. Why is this important? You avoid sensor degradation and inaccurate readings.
The novel vacuum gauge solution, OPTRAVAC, consists of: one piece optical sensor design with KF25 vacuum interface, an optical cable that is mounted to a display controller that houses the excitation circuitry and signal refinement electronics, a display that shows the vacuum reading, and a touch screen menu. OPTRAVAC demonstrates linearity, wide dynamic range, repeatability at measured pressure levels, and total error of less than 1% of reading.
OPTRAVAC Advantages Over Alternatives
- Sensor does not degrade: filaments are not exposed
- Only direct measurement technology for 1×10-5 to 1×10-7
- Longer calibration intervals than existing high vacuum measurement technologies
- Wider dynamic range than existing capacitance manometer technology
- Only isolated and passive sensor technology on the market
Other Products Showcased During Exhibit
The portable Bullseye Precision Gauge® with Bluetooth and Vacuum Gauge Smartphone App has a wide measurement range and vacuum analytics to easily convey vacuum trend information to the user. Use the graphing feature to pinpoint problems in real time (Leak, Pump, Outgas, Stable). Link to your smartphone or tablet with Digivac’s “Vacuum Gauge” app to wirelessly monitor, save and share your vacuum and pump down data.
