Atlas Technologies
Bonded Bimetal Vacuum Chambers, Flanges & Fittings
Scanwel is the authorised UK distributor for Atlas Technologies, a high-vacuum system manufacturer delivering UHV-integrated, LS-bonded bimetal design, manufacturing and support for aluminium and titanium vacuum chambers, ConFlat flanges, ISO flanges and bimetal components.
Profile & Advantages
Specialist Vacuum Chambers, Flanges & Bimetal Components for Demanding Engineering Environments
Atlas Technologies is a specialist vacuum chamber manufacturer, producing aluminium and titanium vacuum chambers, ConFlat and ISO flanges, and bimetal components for space missions, particle colliders, ion-beam fabrication and advanced research. As Atlas Technologies' authorised UK distributor, Scanwel supplies and supports the full range for UK-based research institutions, universities and industry.
The bonded material approach gives a corrosion-resistant core and a high-purity surface, delivering low outgassing, lower contamination risk and reliable performance in critical UHV and XHV systems.
Solid-state bonded bimetal components
Proprietary LS-bonded process creates a molecular diffusion bond for reliable, high-integrity components.
Lower contamination risk
Aluminium vacuum systems can reduce out-gassing to sub-ppb range, ideal for ultra-high vacuum and sensitive environments.
Thermal and non-magnetic performance
Aluminium offers high thermal conductivity and non-magnetic properties, ideal for precision and research applications.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Atlas Technologies vacuum chambers, flanges, bonded bimetal components and Scanwel's role as UK distributor.
What products does Atlas Technologies make?
Atlas Technologies is a vacuum chamber manufacturer producing aluminium and titanium ultra high vacuum (UHV) and extreme high vacuum (XHV) chambers, ConFlat (CF) and ISO flanges, and bonded bimetal components. Scanwel is Atlas Technologies' authorised UK distributor.
What is a bonded bimetal vacuum component, and why use one?
A bonded bimetal component joins two dissimilar metals - typically aluminium and titanium or stainless steel - using Atlas's proprietary LS-bonded process to create a molecular diffusion bond. This gives a corrosion-resistant core with a high-purity surface, reducing outgassing and contamination risk in critical UHV and XHV systems.
What's the difference between Atlas's ConFlat (CF) flanges and Aluminum ISO flanges?
ConFlat (CF) is a flange sealing technology built into Atlas's Bimetal and Titanium Flanges & Fittings product lines, using a knife-edge and copper gasket for ultra high vacuum sealing. Aluminium ISO flanges are a separate, standalone Atlas product line using a clamped, O-ring sealing standard, better suited to lighter-weight, lower-cost vacuum system designs.
Does Atlas Technologies make load lock chambers?
Yes. Atlas's Aluminum & Titanium UHV Chambers range includes custom vacuum chamber and load lock chamber solutions for research and mission-critical ultra high vacuum and extreme high vacuum systems.
Can Atlas vacuum components be used in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and extreme-high vacuum (XHV) systems?
Yes. Atlas's aluminium and titanium chambers, flanges and bimetal components are designed and manufactured specifically for UHV and XHV environments, with applications spanning semiconductor, quantum, aerospace and advanced research.
Is Scanwel the official UK distributor for Atlas Technologies?
Yes. Scanwel is Atlas Technologies' authorised UK distributor and technical support partner, supplying and supporting the full range of Atlas vacuum chambers, flanges and bimetal components for UK research institutions, universities and industry.
