Vacuum Transducers with EtherCAT

All transducers of the Smartline product family from Thyracont, a manufacturer of measurement instrumentation, are now available with EtherCAT interface. EtherCAT is currently the fasted industrial Ethernet technology and convinces with easy handling. For instance manual address settings are not necessary and a diagnosis for localizing errors are already included.

Heavy duty outside – Smart technology inside: The new addition to the Smartline Family with combination sensor for loadlock applications and fine vacuum

The Smartline family presents itself completely redesigned. Packed in stable, fail-safe full metal housing, they combine modern design with intelligent technology in an elegant way. As a new member of the family, the vacuum Smartline Transmitter VSR aims at applications in the load lock, analysis technology, coating and process engineering. The sensor combination of piezoresistive sensor and Pirani filament, used in the VSR, measures from 1200 hPa (900 Torr) to 1e-4 hPa (Torr ) with optimal resolution and high accuracy.

Thyracont Vacuum Instruments GmbH is an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO-F)

Thyracont was awarded to the circle of “authorized economic operators” with the highest award “AEO-F” as one of 30 medium-sized companies in Lower Bavaria (1). In combination with the award of “Authorized Exporter” this means a faster handling in customs matters, as well as shorter lead times in international trade guarantees, benefiting all our international customers in the form of shorter delivery times. Triggered by the increasing globalization and the changed international security situation one can attain the status of “authorized economic operator” since the year 2008. This award shows reliability, trustworthiness and brings simplifications in the customs clearance with it.

Best possible rating according to Basel II

The word “rating” nowadays has the potential to raise one’s hackles – this is not the case for Thyracont Vacuum Instruments GmbH. Thyracont reached the highest category possible for an SME according to BASEL II, rated by its principal bank. A credit rating of “Very good“ – equivalent to “A+“ (Standard & Poor’s) and “A1“ (Moody’s) equals an increase of ...

Capacitance Vacuum Transducer VCC200 – For Difficult Applications

Vacuum measurement in processes containing corrosive gases, oil vapor or particulates is often attempted with Pirani or convection-driven Pirani sensors. While such sensors exhibit reasonable accuracy, they will often fail due to process contaminants and require frequent replacement. Piezo-resistive sensors, while less sensitive to process contamination, lack the needed measurement accuracy.
