The AB-N Control Butterfly Valve provides pressure control performance. With its fast and precise acting motion controller (0.1s), it’s the perfect solution for pressure control in all kinds of processes such as PVD, CVD, Etch and ALD etc. The plate acts as a throttling element and varies the conductance of the valve opening. The integrated pressure controller of the AB-N calculates the required plate position to achieve the set pressure as fast as possible.
It is especially designed for harsh downstream processes with particle in the gas stream. The AB-N stays fully operational despite high particle loads and debris accumulation by design.
AB-N series installed in hundreds of demanding applications already under various process conditions, the AB-N series has proven its outstanding reliability. With a robust design and direct mounting option, as well as reduced and easy maintenance, the AB-N series convinces in all aspects.
Various design options in body material, surface treatment, elastomers, flange connections, special sizes as well as special control algorithms (adaptive, fix PI down-stream/soft-pump) simplify the integration into various vacuum applications.
