27 April 2007

Chell has acquired the business formally know as Vacuum Fabrications. This business will now trade as a division of Chell. The combining of the two companies gives greater strength to both in terms of enhanced resources and control. Never before has Chell been able to offer such a range of solutions from a single transducer or flange to a complete system

The combination of several lifetimes of ultra-high and high vacuum experience provide the very best in quality design, machining, welding and cleaning for the vacuum industry. Quality, precision and superb finish are the hallmarks of a typical Vacuum Fabrications job and, by using efficient manufacturing methods, this is all done at a very competitive cost. A proportion of each day is set aside for urgent, fast turn round of small fittings and special components - a faxed drawing can result in a 24 to 48 hour delivery of that desperately needed component.

Precision TIG welding is performed on all materials used in vacuum systems, including 316 and 304 stainless steel, mu metal, aluminium, and copper. Chambers are manufactured to customer designs or from drawings prepared in house from a simple sketch submitted by the customer. X-Y stages and linear transfer mechanisms are also produced to customer designs.
