Lab Notes

Started design considerations for an experimental vacuum chamber that accidentally also is a foundation for our sputter coater. Here's a very early mock:

In the section view:

• (1) — Base plate has 3 ISO-K DN63 flange patterns
  • (2) — We can attach a ISO-K DN63 to KF DN25 adapter to these holes for the vacuum equipment
  • The other ones get closed with blind plates where we can feed through electrical or mechanical connections
• (3) — Inside the chamber we install a raised platform with a mounting grid; we can install arbitrary equipment on there. Where needed, we make bigger cutouts into this platform for feedthroughs from below
• (4) — The lid has an ISO-K DN100 flange pattern for a viewing window.

Design files are worked on here: https://git.fa-fo.de/fafo/sputter-coater

Did a bit more work on sketching out the assembly, this is the result:
