HRG Production Technology
Metallization System
High-precision vacuum metallization system designed for applying metallic coatings to quartz resonators used in hemispherical resonator gyroscopes (HRG), with precise control of coating thickness and uniformity.
Advantages
- Metal coating thickness on the hemispherical resonator surface: 100–300 Å
- Coating non-uniformity less than 1 μg
- High adhesion of the metallic layer to quartz
- Excellent resistance to temperature variations
- Impedance monitoring during metallization
- Minimal residual mechanical stresses after coating
- Automatic emergency shutdown system for the vacuum installation
- Processing capacity of up to 2 quartz resonators per shift
