The Standard for Vacuum Leak Testing in Industrial Vacuum and Semiconductor Manufacturing
The INFICON UL1000 Helium Leak Detector Series is the renowned standard when it comes to economic helium vacuum leak testing in industrial (UL1000 with oil-sealed fore vacuum pumps) or semiconductor environments (UL1000 Fab with dry compressing fore vacuum pumps).
The UL1000 Series provides the best compromise between high performance, unparalleled robustness, and affordability. It delivers state-of-the art detection limits of 10-12 mbar*l/s combined with reasonable short pump down and response time. The compact design ensures high maneuverability facilitating easy access to maintenance areas with restricted space. The selectable background suppression (iZERO) allows for continuous leak testing within at least two decades lower than existing background levels.
These features collectively reduce the duration of your leak testing process while ensuring all leaks are detected efficiently and economically.
With the addition of the TC1000 Test Chamber accessory, the UL1000 Helium Leak Detector Series provides easy, fast and accurate testing of hermetically sealed parts like IC packages, quartz crystals and laser diodes (according to MIL-STD 883, Method 1014).
Advantages
- minimize leak testing efforts through quick pump down and response time
- avoid need for multiple leak tests by using selectable background suppression (I·ZERO)
- I·CAL (Intelligent Calculation Algorithm for Leak rates)to ensure fastest response time to leaks in all measurement ranges
- enable easy access to maintenance areas with restricted space through maneuverable design
- low total cost of ownership (TCO) enabled by robust two hot filament ion source (3 years warranty) and counterflow vacuum system
- easy to use with rotatable display, optical and audible leak indication, and optional remote control
- low maintenance via a built-in test leak with auto calibration procedure
- Software updates via email easily possible
- Built-in software menu "Auto Leak Test" function to perform automatic testing of hermetically sealed components (optional TC1000 Test Chamber)
Typical Applications
- industrial vacuum equipment manufacturing with high demand for cleanliness
- vacuum components or sub-assemblies before they are installed in existing tools
- maintenance work on vacuum tools, with or without support from their own pump
- inspections and installations of process gas systems
- semiconductor, flat panel display or solar cell manufacturing
- automotive components
- refrigeration and air conditioning components and sub-assemblies hermetically sealed electronic devices
- heat exchangers
