Stainless steel vacuum component research and development (R&D) team:

EFT elites have been designing outstanding stainless steel valves and vacuum components that meet international standards

EFT has a team of six engineers with marvelous engineering experience in various industries including semi-conductor, pharmaceutical, bio-technology, food processing and structural engineering, and that's why they are capable of maintaining the partnership with international buyers from the U.S., France, Germany, Japan, U.K., Italy and Taiwan. EFT's stainless steel vacuum components are equivalent to world-class brands such as Alfa Laval, Gemü and SODIME because they follow their design concept and system. Low tolerance means 100% vacuum fitting test, and their good principle has allowed them to become a well-known manufacturer with high quality.

Mold design and development:

Excellent mold design and manufacturing skills is a factor for making stainless steel valves and vacuum fittings

For each stainless steel vacuum component, there are at least three molds designed and manufactured for the whole process, and the mold making cycle-time is driven in part by size and complexity. To reduce mold fabrication and development cycle time, years ago, instead of having their molds manufactured elsewhere, EFT started to design and fabricate their own molds. The mold design team utilizes the latest technology in hardware and software to design molds. With plenty of mold design experience, every mold has improved cycle times and eventually keeping the cost down.

Sawing machine:

Sawing machine for various types of stainless steel pipes and bars

In EFT, there are more than five 100% automatic sawing machines which are capable of working 24 hours non-stop. The high capability allows EFT to accept big orders and meet the deadlines. "One time they received an order for 500,000 stainless steel valves, the sawing machines were working 24 hours non-stop for days." The manager of EFT recalled.

High-frequency induction hardening machine for hot forging:

Stainless steel vacuum components and valves hot forging

High-frequency induction hardening machine is heating equipment for a wide range of industrial applications, especially for stainless steel vacuum pipes and bars. With the machine, the stainless steel vacuum pipes and bars are heated up to more than 1,000 degrees Celsius in a minute, once they are heated, they are shaped immediately by pressing machines.

Upright type drilling machine:

Drilling machine for making stainless steel valves, vacuum fittings, vacuum components

EFT has ten drilling machines; they are capable of drilling stainless steel valves, vacuum fittings from 12mm diameter up to 42mm. Drilling machines are for hole drilling, after drilling, the drilled stainless steel vacuum fittings are moved to the CNC machining section for extra processing.

CNC lathe machine and milling machine for stainless steel vacuum valves, vacuum fittings:

In EFT's 5,500 square-meter plant, there are 18 CNC lathe machines, 2 CNC milling machines with 4 CNC lathe machine blade change engineers, which allowed EFT to manufacture stainless steel vacuum components from 3/8 to 8 diameters with 80,000 to 100,000's production capability per month.

CNC milling machines for vacuum components

Since every stainless steel vacuum fitting requires particular machining processes, for components that may need CNC machining or butterfly valves request milling, they are all arranged by the project manager based on their characteristics. All of the vacuum components can be requested for extra drilling, milling and cutting processes to meet the goals. Especially for high pressure stainless steel valves, which require high standard machining processes to achieve some challenging angles or axes.

Stainless steel vacuum component onsite inspection:

Onsite inspection with visual inspection, equipment inspection

During production, there's a card that goes along with the operator to make sure that every step is executed accurately, and the card indicates the tolerance of the stainless steel vacuum fittings, the temperature, and the number of times for rough surface grinding, etc. Supervisors are responsible to check the card and to measure stainless steel vacuum components every two hours regardless of the different stage of production. The stainless steel vacuum component is tested at the lab for its precision in order to prevent any defeat production.

Ultrasonic and RO Water cleaning process:

After CNC machining, each vacuum part has to go through a cleaning process to get rid of grease, dust, oil, etc. The whole process contains six sections including ultrasonic cleaning (container 1), ultrasonic cleaning (container 2), hot RO water cleaning (container 3), hot RO water cleaning (container 4), hot RO water cleaning (container 5) and dry (container 6).

Ultrasonic and RO water self-cleaning process for stainless steel vacuum components

RO water is one kind of purified water that removes molecules and ions using a high pressure technology. To avoid the unnecessary pollution from underground water, stainless steel vacuum components are cleaned using the most purified water - RO water.

To prevent friction during cleaning, there are custom-made racks to place each of the components separately.

Gauge and measuring tool for stainless steel vacuum components (valves, flange, stud clamp, pipe fitting):

There is testing equipment for individual stainless steel valves and vacuum fittings in EFT's testing lab and it is temperature controlled.

Crysta-Plus M 776:
• Crysta-Plus M 776 is easy-to-use coordinate measuring equipment that is used particularly for bolted flanges. The needle is able to hook up the hole and calculate its measurement accurately.

Mitutoyo contracer contour measuring instrument:
• The XY plotter contours the surface of stainless steel vacuum component and illustrates the distances and routes on the computer or other display units. It is suitable for measuring R and C angles.

Optical Comparator:
• Optical Comparator: Optical Comparator is an easy-to-use piece of equipment that can assist you to measure stainless steel vacuum fittings as soon as you place them on the platform. Readings are via .00005"/.001mm precision glass scales; it is suitable for measuring the thickness and oblique angle of components.
