How Induction Getter Firing Works

A getter is heated with induction and the activated material oxidizes and absorbs oxygen and other impurities, which increases the vacuum tube’s life.

Induction getter-firing Benefits

Meets tight production tolerances with precise localized heat to small areas creating pinpoint accuracy
Increases production rates with faster heating cycles
Reduces defect rates with repeatable, reliable heat
Eliminates variability from operator-to-operator, shift-to-shift
Maintains metallurgical characteristics of the individual metals
