You demand ultra-high vacuum for sensitive processes, but ordinary hardware can undermine your goals. KF and ISO hardware can't reach 1x10-8 mbar, so UHV systems rely on CF hardware

Even these require care: misaligned surfaces, warped hardware, or suboptimal copper gaskets cause hidden leaks that kill performance. It shouldn’t be this hard.

Define your target pressure and bakeout schedule, then select high-purity CF components, precision stainless ConFlat flanges, matching bolts, and vacuum-grade copper gaskets sized for your chamber.

Tactile’s experts ensure each part is cleaned and specified correctly, we base our choice on your needs, not brands, so every component is purpose-fit. Follow this approach and you’ll achieve consistently leak-free UHV with minimal maintenance. You reduce risk and focus on research instead of surprise rebuilds.

Tactile purpose is to remove uncertainty from vacuum systems, helping engineers move from hidden instability to predictable performance, calm operations, and confidence in their results.
