Thermal Barrier
Our range of thermal barriers provide safe and contamination-free options for your PVD process, while their robust stainless-steel case with high thermal mass prevents thermal damage in demanding environments.
Oven Tracker Insight Software
The Oven Tracker Insight analysis software allows comprehensive data review, analysis and reporting. Use the Process Optimization tool to theoretically predict the effect of profile data changes on overall profile performance using the DatapaqValue analysis. Take the guess work out of process parameter selection and need for multiple trial and error parameter validation runs with the system. The Datapaq Insight Software features include:
- Datapaq Value, Reference and Tolerance Curves
- SPC (Statistical Process Control)
- Analysis Alarms
- Comprehensive Reporting, direct E-mail communication

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a high-tech coating application, used to manufacture high-end consumer products, jewellery and medical products. As part of the PVD process, it is critical that the vacuum chamber temperature is carefully controlled, and that the product surface is also maintained at a specified temperature.
With Datapaq Oven Tracker system you can monitor temperatures in the vacuum chamber to guarantee correct adhesion of surface coating. This system also allows to optimize oven set point temperatures and process parameters to maximize throughput and reduce operating costs. It also facilitates rapid and confident adoption of new designs and materials through accurate control of heating characteristics.
