Semiconductors
Nor-Cal Products, Inc.
Nor-Cal Products is a source for prototype and production quantity custom vacuum chambers and weldments. Spherical, cylindrical, or rectangular bodies can have single-wall, double-wall, or channeled construction and are value-engineered to reduce cost, and increase reliability and performance. All welds are reviewed for vacuum integrity, structural strength, heat resistance, and flange distortion to minimize or eliminate secondary machining. In-house fabrication capabilities allow exhaust weldments to be fabricated from a single piece of tubing, eliminating welds and manufacturing steps while improving cleanliness and fit.
