Used GATAN 691 #293610236 for sale

GATAN 691 is a state-of-the-art ion milling equipment designed for precise sample preparation. It is used in many key industries such as semiconductor, nanotechnology and advanced materials production. In ion milling, a beam of charged particles, such as argon or oxygen ions, is directed at a sample surface and the ions deposit their energy as they penetrate the material. As each layer is removed, a new layer of material is exposed. 691 system is a highly versatile tool which allows the operator to precisely control the angle and intensity of the ion beam to optimise the sample preparation process. It has been designed to deliver both high resolution and high throughput milling. The ion source is able to deliver ion energies between 500V and 75kV. This enables the operator to tailor the milling process to the material being machined. The unit features a 3-axis stage and integrated motorised beam scanning machine. This allows the operator to finely adjust the milling angle and beam intensity, to ensure the highest quality surface possible. It also features automatic stage control, meaning that the stage can be set to rotate or accelerate even further in order to increase throughput. GATAN 691 also allows for process monitoring and control via its fully automated software usability layer. The software makes it easy to program the beam and set up the variables for a successful milling process. This software layer also gives the operator access to process parameters such as voltage, current, displacement and beam monitoring. 691 is an ideal choice for precise sample preparation. Its powerful ion beam and versatile tool allow the operator to select the perfect radiation dosage and ion energy, eradicating the need for multiple sample preparation processes. Its user-friendly software allow the operator to take full control of the milling process and further optimise production on the desired objects.
