Manufacturing capabilities
In December 2019, the business moved to new state-of-the-art premises to include a larger manufacturing facility and significantly increased storage space in the warehouse to allow for expansion.
Since then, there has been major development with investment in new machines, the enhancement of the facilities, including a brand-new temperature-controlled cleaning/inspection room and further training for all workshop engineers.
• New manufacturing facility
• New Milling and Multi-Tasking machines
• New temperature-controlled cleaning and inspection facility
• Investment in training
Adaptix Ultra-High Vacuum Chamber
As part of Adaptix development of their revolutionary new 3D X-ray imaging source, the company required assistance and advice on the design and construction of an ultra-high vacuum chamber.
Scanwel supported Adaptix in designing and manufacturing a new low-profile 60kv feedthrough used to speed up the R&D process. Scanwel's inhouse bespoke manufacturing was able to maintain the precision required for a successful implementation of the design.
"We approached Scanwel to support us with this project as John Kokkalis, Regional Sales Manager, Scanwel, and the wider team have extensive knowledge and were able to suggest improved manufacturing techniques for our final vacuum chamber design. This approach enabled us to speed up the R&D process".
