Time is money. In the gold, silver, platinum and palladium target business, time is even more precious. We’re not only focused on providing you the world’s finest sputtering targets and evaporation pellets. We’re constantly thinking about how to do it faster and smarter to maximize your precious metal investment. That includes innovative designs that put more precious metal on the substrate and less in each sputter target. A target recycling program that immediately credits spent targets and turns around new ones in record time. And cash flow solutions to help keep more working capital working for you. The result? Thin film sputter coating applications that are worth waiting for, even though you don’t have to.

Grand Rapids, MI. September 7, 2023 – Weiss Technik North America, Inc. (WNA) is pleased to announce it acquired all stocks of Vacuum Technology Associates, doing business as Dynavac. Dynavac is an innovative leader in high‐performance vacuum systems for space simulation and thin film deposition. Its products are sold primarily to the Aerospace, Defense, and precision optics industries. This acquisition combines state‐of‐the‐art technologies—environmental test chambers, thin film deposition, and thermal vacuum chambers—propelling Weiss Technik to the forefront as the largest manufacturer of environmental and space simulation systems worldwide.

Intellivation is pleased to announce a new manufacturing expansion which was completed in late 2022. “This expansion will significantly increase our capacity for manufacturing and support our machine shop work flow most specifically. We will be adding some exciting new equipment to our machine shop which will allow us to do complete vacuum chamber machining in-house.” says Mike Simmons, Intellivation President & CEO. “Installing capacity, particularly in our machine shop helps us control our build time for our vacuum chambers and roll to roll coating equipment. Like everyone, dealing with logistics and supply chain changes has made us rethink our project planning and manufacturing flow. This expansion supports the changes the team has implemented to support our customers and commitments and helps insulate us from supply chain fluctuations.” Intellivation moved to a new state of the art facility in 2020 designed specifically for manufacturing vacuum coating equipment used in a wide range of industries and a variety of applications. This expansion adds 5,000 square feet to the existing facility.

CDM900 Micro Bee is InstruTech’s new capacitance diaphragm vacuum gauge with a ceramic sensor. The CDM900 is a temperature compensated capacitance diaphragm vacuum gauge which provides highly accurate pressure measurements with full scale ranges from 10 Torr to 1,000 Torr.
