Atlas Company Information Atlas Company Information Atlas — the aluminum revolution The Aluminum vacuum revolution has started — In a remote corner of Washington State, in the rain shadow of the Olympic Peninsula, nestled along Puget Sound, Atlas Technologies has been driven to think beyond the convention of stainless steel. First with the invention of the robust all-metal-seal Atlas CF flange and the Atlas ATCR fitting, Atlas made aluminum high and ultrahigh vacuum possible. Next, Atlas took on welding and surface preparation challenges. Now with Atlas’ advanced UHV grade aluminum welds and surface oxide densification technology Atlas’ aluminum vacuum chambers can easily outperform stainless chambers in any vacuum regime at a lower cost. It is time to say goodbye to stainless steel and think in aluminum. Lower cost? Yes, the larger the chamber the better. Aluminum is half the price of stainless, machines 5 times faster and is 1/3 the weight. It also has lower outgassing and diffusion rates than stainless steel. This means better vacuum at lower prices when you think in aluminum. “We worked with Atlas Technologies to build a series of X and Y-shaped aluminum bending magnet vacuum chambers for an electron cooling system, which cools relativistic Sergei Nagaitsev Deputy Director Fermilab ILC Program Payment Terms Standard payment terms are net thirty (30) days from date of invoice (prior credit approval required). Non approved accounts will require COD terms. Atlas accepts VISA and Mastercard credit cards. Discounts OEM and quantity discounts may be available to qualified customers. Please contact Atlas sales department for more information. Atlas Company Information antiprotons at Fermilab. These UHV chambers enable the introduction of electrons to the antiproton beam and the extraction of the electrons from the beam after cooling. In electron cooling, beams of electrons and antiprotons circulate together at the same speed. The “colder” electrons interact with the “hotter” antiprotons and cool the beam of antiprotons in the same way that hot gas is cooled when it is mixed with cold gas. Fermilab was the first lab to demonstrate e-cooling at high energies, operating the electron beam at 4.3 MeV. Atlas made the chambers in two halves machined from thick plates of aluminum. Then they welded them together and attached Atlas CF flanges to the legs. All the chambers have performed very well, met our specifications and they were beautiful!” Orders To place an order, request literature or obtain product and services information, please call us at 360-385-3123, visit us on the web at www.AtlasUHV.com or send an e-mail to [email protected] Shipping Charges All domestic shipments are via UPS/surface, FOB Port Townsend, Washington 98368, prepaid and added to invoice, unless quoted otherwise.
