What Is A Custom Controller?
Pneucleus separates customs into two categories, Modifications and New Products. Simply put, “Modifications” are adding new features to a standard product at the request of a customer. They can be simple, like providing a control signal range of 2-8V, or they can be a little more complex, like designing an MFC that is RF immune. The former could be done within standard lead times but the latter may require a few additional weeks for development and testing. “New Products” on the other hand would be like putting an electronic pressure controller and a mass flow controller into the same package with separate control circuits and separate ports. That would be a design we haven’t already produced but interests us non-the-less. Pneucleus encourages all of our customers to submit their custom designs needs for a Benefit & Feasibility analysis. This analysis is free and may lead to an excellent, low cost solution.
Why We Customize
When Do We Customize
Most “modifications” to existing products are approved in a few days depending on its complexity. More complex designs are submitted for a Benefit & Feasibility analysis. This analysis can take a couple of days to a couple of weeks and will determine the attractiveness this new feature will have in the market and the ease with which a working prototype can be fabricated. The more attractive the feature is to the market the less it will cost you to have us design it. We will also absorb a proportional part of the development costs if your yearly usage is significant. The Benefit & Feasibility analysis is free and an excellent way to have your application reviewed by the experts in low cost, high performance vacuum, pressure, and mass flow controller solutions.
