Customer Testimonials
The Atlas customer base consists of a wide
and diverse grouping of industrial, government, academic and scientific entities located
around the globe.
“During my tenure at Ovonic ECD (United
Solar) I was very pleased with the service and
quality we received from Atlas Technologies.
Our primary areas of business include
Semiconductor, FAB, Solar, Particle Physics,
Synchrotron, Nuclear Medicine, Cryogenic
and Neutron Radiation disciplines, and many
others. For your reference, the following is a
partial list of Atlas customers:
Before working with Atlas all of our thin film
photovoltaic production line was manufactured out of stainless steel. Atlas assisted us
in converting the drive and transition chambers to aluminum; this created a substantial
(50 to 60%) cost savings.
Industrial Customers
By using the standard weld-on bimetallic
Atlas AT- CF flanges we were able to eliminate O-rings and reduce contamination. The
quality of the chambers and equipment we
have received from them has been exceptional. Furthermore when we commission
their chambers it has become worry-free for
our installation crews.
aggressively. I strongly recommend Atlas
Technologies for future work”
We maintain a very aggressive production
schedule and they have always been accurate, up-front and on time with their delivery
commitments. They also price themselves

orbit. All flanges including e-beam orbit,
synchrotron radiation ports and pumping
ports were fabricated from Atlas CF flanges.
In addition to the demanding geometrical
constraints of the dipole magnet the chamber
was required to absorb all excess synchrotron
radiation not entering the beamlines and
resist any deformation due to forces incurred
under vacuum. Atlas presented a preliminary
design for approval before fabrication and
conducted a complete FEA analysis of the
chamber studying both the thermal loading
and the vacuum deflection.
"We have been working with Atlas for many
years using their Atlas CF flanges and explosion bonding capability for assemblies such
as beryllium windows. In 2005 we had a need
for a dipole magnet vacuum chamber. Atlas
competed with vacuum equipment manufacturers worldwide and won the bid, beating
out stainless steel vendors in Europe and
Russia by a large margin.
This is a large chamber ~2.9 m long with two
50 mrad acceptance aperture IR beamlines
tangential to the synchrotron electron beam

Atlas fabricated the chamber in two halves
with each half having a water cooling surface
machined into the chamber. The two halves
were welded together and final machining brought the chamber overall thickness
tolerance and chamber radius of curvature
tolerance to less than 1mm. The chamber is
presently installed in the CAMD synchrotron
in bending magnet 2 and attains a base pressure less than 5 x10-10 Torr without bakeout"
