Multi-purpose vacuum deposition device HEX system RF & DC sputtering source

This is a sputtering source for the multi-purpose vacuum deposition device HEX/HEX-L. It can be used in DC mode when the target is a conductor and in RF mode when the target is an insulator. With a gas hood as standard equipment, it is possible to increase the pressure near the target surface while keeping the chamber pressure low during film formation. Quick-release connectors are used for the connections of cooling water piping and gas piping, allowing for easy installation and removal of the piping without the need for tools. The Fission source can be fixed to the chamber with four butterfly nuts, eliminating the need for tools during installation and removal. It also supports reactive sputtering, enabling the deposition of oxides and nitrides. Up to three deposition sources can be installed on the HEX and up to six on the HEX-L, allowing for the deposition of multilayer films and compound films.

Resistance heating evaporation source for the multi-purpose vacuum deposition device HEX system.

This is a resistance heating evaporation source for the multi-purpose vacuum deposition device HEX/HEX-L. The resistance heating evaporation method is the most common vacuum deposition process. Materials are placed in a boat-type or crucible-type heating container, and by passing current through the heating container, resistance heat is generated to heat the materials. Once the temperature of the heating container rises sufficiently, the materials inside begin to evaporate. The deposition rate can be controlled by the current. The advantage of the resistance heating evaporation device is that it does not use process gases. Therefore, it operates at high vacuum levels, resulting in deposited films containing very few impurities. The TES source is fixed to the chamber with four butterfly nuts. Additionally, the cooling water piping is connected via quick-release connectors, allowing for quick replenishment of materials or replacement of boats/filaments. Up to five TES sources can be installed on the HEX, and up to six on the HEX-L. They can also be used in combination with the sputter source Fission, the electron beam evaporation source TAU, and the organic evaporation source ORCA.

Multi-purpose vacuum deposition device for HEX system with 1-source and 4-source electron beam deposition sources.

This is an electron beam evaporation source for the multi-purpose vacuum deposition device HEX/HEX-L. The TAU series is a "mini" electron beam evaporation source. By using TAU, the HEX system can be utilized as an electron beam evaporation device (EB evaporation device). The material is heated by applying high voltage to it and accelerating thermal electrons emitted from a filament located right next to it to collide with the material. Unlike large electron beam evaporation sources, it does not use electron beam deflection magnets. Each pocket of the TAU source is equipped with a "flux monitoring plate" as standard, which detects the slight ions contained in the vapor. The ion current value detected here is proportional to the deposition rate and is sensitive enough to precisely grow sub-monolayer films. The TAU-4, which is a simultaneous deposition model with four sources, has independent flux monitoring plates in each of the four pockets, allowing for monitoring of the deposition rate in each pocket during simultaneous deposition. The TAU source can deposit from either a rod or a crucible, depending on the material. We can suggest the optimal deposition method, so please feel free to contact us.

Organic deposition source for the multipurpose vacuum deposition device HEX system.

This is an organic deposition source for the multi-purpose vacuum deposition device HEX/HEX-L. By installing ORCA, the HEX system can be used as an organic material deposition device. The ORCA source actively cools the crucible. The balance between heating and cooling achieves excellent temperature stability and control. The crucible is made of a material with high thermal conductivity, preventing the occurrence of hotspots that could adversely affect the deposition rate. Alumina and graphite liners are also available. The temperature of the crucible is measured by a K-type thermocouple, allowing for more accurate temperature measurements than conventional contact thermocouples. ORCA comes with a power supply unit and a PID controller optimized for low-temperature operation. The ORCA source can be used in combination with sputter sources, electron beam deposition sources, and resistance heating deposition sources. The area around the crucible is covered with a cooled protective cap, minimizing thermal interference from adjacent sources.

Multipurpose Vacuum Deposition Device HEX System Sample Stage | Fixed, Rotating, Rotating Heating, Rotating Water Cooling

This is a sample stage for the multi-purpose vacuum deposition device HEX/HEX-L. Choosing the correct sample stage is as important as selecting the right film formation method. The characteristics of the sample stage affect uniformity, morphology, and film composition. It accommodates samples with a maximum diameter of 4 inches for HEX and 6 inches for HEX-L. In addition to the standard fixed sample stage, rotating, rotating heated, and rotating water-cooled sample stages are available.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I’m worried about not colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures using various sensors and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The device consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *Please note that a separate control panel is required to include the controller and switching power supply (24V) when using the exit warning system. *We kindly ask that customers arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breakers, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. We hope this will contribute to safer vehicle passage for everyone. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The "HM-S6" is an embedded park sensor that detects vehicles through changes in magnetic flux and can respond to various situations from passing to stationary. It can be used for the opening and closing of the input doors at waste treatment plants, as well as for gates where vehicles pass and in outdoor parking applications. It can also be installed on rebar and steel plates. 【Features】 - Resistant to the effects of natural environments such as rain, snow, temperature changes, and geomagnetism. - Protection rating IP68 reduces the risk of water ingress. - Ten times the load capacity compared to conventional embedded park sensors (according to our comparison). - Can distinguish between vehicles even when they pass continuously, one by one. - Can be installed on rebar and steel plates. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.
