Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify alternative sources for a Ferrovac UHV Suitcase Package for Room-Temperature Transfer. The package should include a combination of ion and getter pumps with electronic controls, a 2.75 CF gate valve, and a Ferrovac dual shaft wobblestick manipulator. The system should also include a hard case for shipping and a battery controller to maintain the battery.
The key requirements for the Ferrovac UHV Suitcase Package include:
• The system shall use a combination of ion and getter pumps with electronic controls for pressure and temperature readout, and getter activation, all integrated and mounted on the frame of the suitcase.
• The system will include a 2.75 CF gate valve with UNF threads to connect the suitcase to existing UHV chambers.
• The system shall allow for an extended length of the wobble stick from the gate valve of at least 400 mm or larger for EMS type samples and at least 440 mm for flag type samples.
• The system shall allow the ion pump to remain on with battery power only and the system under UHV during transfer to different locations with an onboard battery supply and controller.
NIST is requesting that interested sources provide information on their company, products, and services, including pricing and regulatory compliance.
