CUSTOM ULTRA HIGH VACUUM CHAMBERS (UHV)

Aluminum - Stainless Steel - Exotic Materials

When your research, product or process demands a vacuum chamber that cannot fail, Meyer Tool & Mfg. delivers. We design and build custom vacuum chambers, high-precision vacuum chambers and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) application vacuum chambers for the most advanced research and industry needs. 
Every experiment or process has unique performance requirements, including pressure, materials, cleanliness, geometry, integration and documentation. That’s why our approach is collaborative from the start, helping you meet your technical goals while reducing project risk on tight timelines.

CUSTOM VACUUM CHAMBER CATEGORIES

Precision-Engineered UHV and High-Precision Chambers for Critical Applications

Off-the-shelf vacuum enclosures often fall short, especially for UHV or high-precision vacuum chamber needs. We specialize in one-of-a-kind designs for situations where even a slight fabrication or contamination error could compromise your outcomes.

Typical UHV application vacuum chamber and custom vacuum system projects include:
​
  • Particle accelerator and national laboratory research for deep space, atomic exploration or surface science.
  • Quantum technology for quantum computing, photonics and sensor research and development (R&D).
  • Semiconductor fabrication, thin film deposition and advanced materials science.
  • Aerospace and defense applications requiring robust vacuum test chambers for satellites or critical hardware.
  • Specialty R&D and emerging tech like green technologies, specialty coatings or cold atoms.

​Our experience spans single-unit prototypes to production for global leaders in research, technology, manufacturing and more.

Key Features and Capabilities of Our Vacuum Chambers

We engineer and fabricate every custom vacuum chamber to your precise requirements. Here’s what sets us apart:
​
  • Materials expertise: We fabricate with stainless steel, aluminum, copper, titanium and exotic materials for specialized vacuum, magnetic or corrosion environments.
  • Design flexibility: We create cylindrical, spherical, rectangular and custom shapes, including modular designs and integrated ports, flanges or feedthroughs.
  • High-precision fabrication: Advanced computer numerical control (CNC) machining, precision welding and tight forming deliver micron-level accuracy.
  • Welding, sealing and surface preparation: Our American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section VIII-certified welders use tungsten inert gas (TIG), metal inert gas (MIG) and e-beam techniques for leak-free joints. 
  • Sealing: We meet UHV requirements with knife-edge CF flanges, metal O-rings and elastomer seal integration. 
  • Surface preparation: We can provide finishing, electropolishing, passivation and clean room assembly or UHV cleaning upon request.
  • Testing, validation and documentation: Every chamber undergoes helium leak testing, dimensional checks and cleanliness verification with full documentation, traceability and compliance reporting.
  • Integrated engineering support: We offer finite element analysis (FEA) and computer-aided design (CAD) modeling to design for manufacturability and ensure project success. ​
