ELECTRON OPTICS RESEARCH STATION
Electro-vacuum system built for experimentation and development in electron optics.
Designed as a platform that accepts high-voltage, RF, and measurement access inside the vacuum space. The station features an insulated internal platform for experimental assemblies with the necessary feedthrough connections. The user’s existing equipment — scopes, signal generators, HV power supplies and others — was integrated into the setup to preserve familiar workflows. Pump control and vacuum diagnostics are handled through a simple, intuitive interface. The result is a setup adapted to the client’s work preferences, keeping the work centered on the experiment itself.

ELECTRODE HOLDER
CUSTOM VACUUM TUBES
Experimental electro-vacuum instruments developed as part of a larger research system.
The objective was to verify a new functional principle for future vacuum tube devices. The builds featuring an open-frame/cold cathodes with electron extractor, a target electrode on an independent feedthrough, and full glass encapsulation. The vacuum tube prototypes were tested on a vacuum station and later sealed for integration into the main setup, demonstrating stable operation and consistent design performance.

HEAT SHIELDING PART
CUSTOM GRID ELECTRODE
HIGH VACUUM ANALYTIC STATION
System for studying materials and components of X-ray vacuum tubes.
Built to reproduce real working conditions for rapid prototype testing. The build included a custom glass chamber engineered for vacuum and high-field environments. The chamber operates at high vacuum with a heated volume, 100 kV feedthrough, electrical ports, and optional getter activation. Sensors track pressure and residual gases, with automatic data logging to PC. Radiation shielding and a simple control interface make routine tests safe and efficient. The station lets users evaluate new designs quickly, without building full assemblies, significantly reducing development time.

PLASMA ELECTRODE
GLASS TO METAL SEAL STATION
Tool for small series production of disc type glass seals.
Designed to simplify alignment and ensure repeatable, accurate sealing. This configuration merges several previously separate steps into one, improving setup speed, part positioning, and process control. It features a counter balanced vertical head with a vacuum holder for near-weightless motion, an adjustable lower chuck, and optional gauge measurement during sealing. Built on a repurposed miniature press, the station delivers reliable seal fabrication and operator comfort.

CUSTOM ALIGNMENT TOOL
VACUUM FURNACE SAMPLE FIXTURE
Compact fixture engineered for stable sample processing in a high temperature/vacuum furnace.
Built to withstand prolonged heating, it maintains geometry and alignment under thermal load while keeping the sample clean and mechanically supported. The construction uses materials selected for high-temperature endurance and expansion compatibility — molybdenum, tungsten, ceramics, quartz glass, and specialized stainless steel. The sample is clamped between ceramic and quartz elements, pressed from above by a tungsten pin and supported by a quartz base. The holder enables reliable positioning at ~900 °C in vacuum conditions without contamination or thermal deformation.

MOLDED GLASS PART
GLASS PRODUCTION LINE PROTOTYPE
Experimental machine developed from concept to operational stage for producing a specific glass component.
The work included designing the manufacturing method and constructing a functional prototype from scratch. The machine feeds glass blanks from a hopper through four synchronized flame-forming zones, with two dynamically controlled tools executing shaping operations. Built as a modular platform, it enables process tuning, tool replacement, and software refinement. After calibration, the system prototype achieved precise part geometry and stable cycle timing, confirming full process viability from idea to production.

ELECTRON SOURCE ADJUSTMENT
OPEN FRAME CATHODE
MODULAR VACUUM CHAMBER
Reconfigurable chamber built for material studies and rapid experimental setup changes.
Designed to function as a modular environment that can be rearranged without rebuilding the system, it uses glass modules mounted on standard flange interfaces. Components such as electrodes, sensors, and holders are built on matching flange bases, allowing quick installation and repositioning. This structure lets the user adjust geometry, add new parts, or expand capabilities by ordering only the required module. The result is a flexible vacuum platform that saves development time and removes the need to fabricate a new system for every variation.

HIGH SPEED DRILL PRESS RESTORATION
One of several internal restoration projects carried out for the laboratory and for the quiet pleasure of bringing old machines back to life.
The drill arrived in poor condition, worn and out of alignment, and the goal was to return it to near-new working quality for tool fabrication tasks in the workshop. The machine was fully rebuilt: new bearings, re-machined and balanced pulleys and spindle, a new motor with controller, and a restored exterior that keeps a few original details. A good addition to the workshop’s tools and simply a satisfying machine to restore.
