Steve Mason and Ray Chegwin from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) recently exhibited at Culham to discuss the benefits that NPL’s measurement expertise can offer to industry and research institutes. “We were able to make exceptionally good contacts with many attendees (including chief engineers and senior research scientists) who were eager to hear what assistance NPL could offer in the areas of neutron spectroscopy measurements, magnetic field strength measurements (including the calibration of Hall probes, and the proposed measurement of a large, beamline magnet), and metallography (such as the preparation of small brazing samples). For one visitor to our stand who plans to develop phase diagrams for alloys used in fusion energy experiments, our exhibition provided an opportunity to find out about MTDATA, the NPL Software tool for the calculation of phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties” said Steve Mason NPL’s Knowledge Transfer Manager.
“We found this to be a worthwhile and productive opportunity, with many concepts for important future work and collaborations discussed” said Steve.

CVI Melles Griot had the pleasure of exhibiting some of its products to staff at Culham recently. It was a successful exhibition with many questions relating to the acquisition of Melles Griot into the CVI Laser Group and the newly enhanced capability and expanded product range. Over the next few months the newly combined 990 page catalogue will be published. This will incorporate all current products from both the CVI and the Melles Griot range as well as some updated product lines. This includes ranges of high damage threshold optics, stock Opto-mechanical hardware, Diode and Gas lasers and positioning. CVI Melles Griot are looking forward to establishing more fruitful relationships with Culham staff during the course of 2009. For further information please contact UK Regional Sales Manager Jim Green on jgreen@cvimellesgriot.com, or call 01223 598 523 or visit http://www.cvimellesgriot.com

Newly expanded Chell Instruments, which now incorporates Vacuum Fabrications recently exhibited at Culham after a gap of several years. Products on view included vacuum gauges, valves, mass flow controllers, gas purifiers, calibration equipment and custom fabrications. Although only a small part of the product range, it illustrated the ability to supply complete packages to suit individual customer’s requirements.
During the day several existing customers visited the exhibition to see what was new, and a steady stream of new contacts were made, which will help to raise awareness of the company’s products and services. Chell’s combination of more than 30 years experience in providing vacuum, pressure and gas flow related equipment, wide range of products and services, and willingness to provide custom solutions in a timely and cost effective manner was particularly appreciated.

"Tecan, a leading manufacturer of customised precision parts and apertures, recently demonstrated its range of innovative, photolithography-based technologies at Culham.
“We always welcome the opportunity to talk to engineers and designers about what our processes can offer. Exhibitions like this enable us to show that we can make metal micro-components with more exacting designs and tighter tolerances than many designers ever realised were achievable,” said Martin Cox, Tecan’s Regional Sales Manager, “as they begin to understand our processes, they also see the advantages for mass-production.”
Photo Chemical Machining (PCM), or ‘photo etching’, is a subtractive process that selectively removes metal by chemical action. Using ‘soft’ tooling directly plotted from CAD on to film, PCM is an extremely precise and cost-effective process that facilitates the production of a wide range of burr and stress-free parts in virtually any metal.
For even more precise manufacturing, Tecan uses advanced Photo Electro Forming techniques (sometimes also known as UV LIGA) in a class 1000 cleanroom. PEF is used to manufacture metal, epoxy and hybrid multi-level components and apertures - with sub-micron feature sizes and tolerances possible.
