Services Offered by CPA
Complete sputtering systems, upgrades, and expert support.


PVD and Evaporator Systems
We work closely with universities, national laboratories, startups, and established companies worldwide to deliver systems tailored to specific process requirements. From initial design and fabrication to installation, commissioning, and ongoing service, we support our customers at every stage of the system lifecycle.
Refurbishing
Many legacy systems still have mechanically sound chambers and structural frameworks, yet production downtime is often caused by obsolete electronics. We upgrade these platforms with modern computer hardware and PLC-based control systems, restoring reliability, improving performance, and ensuring long-term serviceability.
Field Service
Our team provides comprehensive field service and responsive phone support to keep your system downtime at a minimum. Experienced technicians are available for on-site troubleshooting, repairs, upgrades, and preventive maintenance, ensuring minimal disruption to your process.






PLC Upgrade
Restore your existing sputtering or evaporator system to peak performance. We rebuild mechanical and vacuum components, replace worn parts, and return systems to like-new condition, significantly extending service life at a fraction of replacement cost.


Custom Projects
Residual Gas Analysis (RGA) is used to monitor and identify gases present within a vacuum chamber. By measuring the partial pressures of individual species, an RGA can detect leaks, contamination, outgassing, and process byproducts, providing valuable insight for maintaining process purity and diagnosing system performance.


RGA Analysis / Leak Detection
We design and fabricate custom vacuum chambers and precision fixtures tailored to unique process and integration requirements. From initial concept through machining and final assembly, each system is engineered for vacuum integrity, thermal stability, and compatibility with existing platforms.


A Polycold cryogenic refrigeration system traps and condenses water vapor and other condensable gases before they reach the primary pump, significantly improving pump-down times and helping achieve lower base pressures. We custom-make coils to fit your specific system.
Polycold Coils


Our team provides comprehensive CAD services for new parts, turning your concepts and requirements into precise, manufacturable 3D models and detailed drawings. Whether developing components from scratch or reverse engineering existing parts, we ensure accuracy and deliver designs ready for production.
