MPF Products recently installed a new 1,000 sq ft. state-of-the-art ISO Cleanroom featuring ISO Class 8, Class 7, and Class 5 sections used to ensure the highest quality super polished, low absorption optics and high-power coatings available. What Is A Cleanroom? Cleanrooms are controlled environments where airborne pollutants like dust,
Introduction In 1905, Albert Einstein wrote what has been described as “the most revolutionary sentence written by a physicist of the 20th century.” According to the assumption to be contemplated here, when a light ray is spreading from a point, the energy is not distributed continuously over ever-increasing spaces, but
Electrical Feedthroughs for Your UHV Electrical feedthroughs (or high-powered feedthroughs) transmit voltage or current into your high or ultra high vacuum environment. They are necessary for a number of scientific—we’re looking at you SpaceX!— and industrial applications. But when you need electrical feedthroughs for your UHV, how do you know
Do You Need More KVs in Your High Voltage Feedthrough? When MPF opened its doors in 1994, those of us in the ultra high vacuum (UHV) industry were lucky if we could deliver more than 5 KVs into a chamber. As we’re sure you’re aware, KVs stand for “kilovolts.” One
With 50 years of experience in designing, engineering, and manufacturing UHV (ultra-high vacuum) assemblies with optical components, MPF has emerged as a leader in the field of precision optics. We have the ability to support industry and the scientific community in small volume prototyping, as well as large-scale OEM production of viewports for
Why You Need a Ceramic to Metal Feedthrough for Your Vacuum Assembly Ceramic to Metal Sealing: The World’s Most Hermetic Seal With all due respect to the good folks at J-B Weld, we at MPF are more than a little dubious that their glue offers “The World’s Strongest Bond.” Sure,
For the past 27 years, MPF has been pushing the envelope, innovating and refining our manufacturing processes to better serve our clients. “The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.”-Goethe “He not busy being born is busy
When you’re “shopping” for components for your UHV chamber, it’s important that you are able verify that the manufacturer of said components has the necessary quality control systems in place. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the most august and respected institution in devising quality management standards–along with environmental management
“It’s like I told you, I ordered these flanges and messed up our vacuum vessel. How was I supposed to know it would short out the system?” Did you know that when Niels Bohr was just a young Dane studying at the University of Copenhagen he nearly killed himself
