Pre-Assembled Radial Distribution Center (RDC) 48

Our RDC 48 Radial Distribution Center features a 23" arm extension and is rated for UHV applications. Also included is an optional bakeout tent assembly with heaters totaling 2kW. The RDC48 (as shown) is in stock and available for immediate shipment worldwide.

This RDC facilitates multi-chamber in-vacuum substrate transfer - ideal for cluster tool environments. The RDC is mounted at the center of a series of chambers, acting as a central hub from which sample transfer occurs. A linear rack and pinion sample transporter, controlled via a rotary drive, moves and indexes the sample about its center axis between chambers through shared ports.
