Alicat instruments, with a robust design and quick control response, are an ideal fit for applications in the vacuum industry as well as laboratories, universities and R&D facilities. Vacuum coaters especially like our multivariate control on pressure, volume or mass flow, with consistent, highly repeatable results.
Our instruments are versatile and feature rich. They include manual input interfaces and easy to read, programmable digital displays which show mass flow, volumetric flow, absolute pressure and temperature so that coating processes are consistent and reproducible. Alicat products have both analog and serial communication and can be operated on 12-24Vdc power. Alicat controllers require no warm up time and are very easy to install and operate, with the same form, fit and function of other controllers. Physical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition manufacturers find substantial benefits in choosing Alicat instruments.
With the highest turn down ratio in the industry of 200:1, you can use fewer devices for a full range of flows. With our multivariate closed loop controls, you can often eliminate secondary components in your system. Control response is 100ms or less. Standard with each meter are 98 gas & gas mix calibrations accessible via the display or through RS232/485. An optional flow totalizer can also be added.
Alicat offers supporting products, software and accessories:
- OEM flow controllers for reducing costs
- Lab View drivers or our proprietary Flow Vision software for multi-unit operation, control and data logging.
- Custom designs allow Alicat to be a direct drop in replacement for many competitive designs.
- Delivery is typically less than 7 days
- Each instrument has the industry's only lifetime warranty
Alicat Scientific is located in Tucson, Arizona. We have been manufacturing our unique digital differential pressure Mass Flow Controllers and Pressure control instrumentation since 1992.
