Materials & Manufacturing Capabilities

California Equipment Services, Inc. manufactures precision components for semiconductor, thin film, and vacuum-based systems.

Our capabilities include exotic metal machining, precision stainless steel manufacturing, molybdenum grid plate assembly and testing, quartz and ceramic components, and cleanroom-ready vacuum hardware.

All components are produced to customer drawings and specifications, with an emphasis on dimensional accuracy, material integrity, and consistent quality.

Precision Machining of Molybdenum, Tungsten, Titanium, and Stainless Steel

CES machines exotic metals used in high-performance and vacuum environments, including:

Molybdenum
Tungsten
Titanium

California Equipment Services manufactures, rebuilds, cleans, and supplies precision components for ion source assemblies used in semiconductor and thin film applications. With over 19 years of experience supporting ion source grid assemblies, we provide in-house manufacturing, inspection, assembly, and testing to meet tight performance requirements.
