Finding the Right Valve for R&D Applications: How VALVEPARK Sourced Specialty Valves for a Research Laboratory

Hello, this is VALVEPARK.

Today we'd like to share a special quotation request we received for an R&D valve.


Our partner Company N is currently running a Ministry of SMEs and Startups project -

‘ XX a μm-class • • micro-LED XXX performance and reliability • • • • • technology development'

- and they reached out about precision control valves needed for the project.

🕵️♂️ Background of the Request

This project is high-difficulty research focused on developing a multi-head used in ultra-precision processes at the micrometer (μm) level,

and the goal is to use a fine electrode structure to measure micro-LED performance and evaluate its reliability.

Over a three-year period, the Company N research team is working on:

• xx μm-class head design

• Development of 128-channel multi-probe tip and electrode processing technology

• Design and manufacturing of ultra-compact micro-LED chips, and other related work.

Request Details

This research equipment needed a valve that can operate reliably in a high-cleanliness, high-vacuum environment.

Because the experimental setup is highly precise and operates in a very limited space,

valve size, response speed, and durability were all critical requirements.

Company N asked us to quote an angle-type valve that could meet all of these requirements.

Here's a quick note!

Let us introduce HTC's AVBAK-16-M (Mini Type) Angle Valve

As the name suggests, this is a Mini Type angle valve - small in size but powerful in performance -

designed and optimized for flow-path control in vacuum systems.

Key Features

Compact size that saves installation space

SUS304 body - excellent corrosion resistance and durability

Single-acting pneumatic (Single Acting Type) - outstanding operating stability

Bellows seal construction - maintains perfect airtightness

Designed for high-temperature, high-vacuum environments - ideal for semiconductor and research equipment

• Compact Mini Type construction that is easy to install inside cramped equipment,

• operates reliably in high-vacuum and high-cleanliness process environments,

• and delivers highly reliable open/close response.

Taking the characteristics of the research equipment and the goals of the experiment into account,

we determined that HTC's Mini Type Angle Valve was the best fit

and submitted an official quotation.
