VACGEN has been manufacturing UHV vacuum systems for over 50 years. Our large state of the art production facility means we can now offer an even better service to our customers. Technology building blocks from VACGEN are used widely across the world's leading Universities and major research institutions, from NASA and the European Space Agency to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

Due to our vast portfolio of bespoke system projects, we can offer you a dedicated team to assist you in the design and production of your custom chamber requirements. Our stringent UHV in-house manufacturing and testing processes ensure high quality production - test reports are available on request. VACGEN has the capability to supply ultra high vacuum chambers of any complexity in a range of materials including stainless steel and mu-metal. Other materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloys and nickel-based superalloys can be used where requirements demand. We offer comprehensive support during the purchasing process, helping the customer to design a chamber that meets their application requirements and providing specialist advice regarding the specification of the chamber. VACGEN offers the additional service of chamber design and port clash detection. A 3-Dimensional CAD model of your chamber can be produced to aid the visualisation of the end product.

If you have an existing design or a conceptual drawings, we can offer a DfM service to produce your vessel in an efficient, accurate and cost effective way. Due to our vast portfolio of bespoke system projects, we can offer you a dedicated team to assist you in the design and production of your custom chamber requirements.
