Granville-Phillips 260016 Dual Vacuum Gauge Controller Rackmount 115V 50-60Hz

Granville-Phillips 260016 Dual Vacuum Gauge Controller Rackmount 115V 50-60Hz

The Granville-Phillips 260016 is a dual-channel vacuum gauge controller in a rackmount chassis, designed to monitor and control vacuum system pressure using ionization or thermocouple gauge inputs. The unit features two front-panel analog meters for simultaneous pressure readout, with adjustable Low and High pressure range controls spanning a 10^-N decade range for process control setpoints. It was manufactured by Granville-Phillips Company of Boulder, Colorado, a long-established maker of vacuum measurement and control instrumentation widely used in semiconductor processing, thin-film deposition, research labs, and industrial vacuum systems.

Applications

Granville-Phillips vacuum gauge controllers like the 260016 are used in research and industrial vacuum systems to monitor chamber pressure and trigger process control events at user-defined pressure setpoints. They are commonly found in PVD and CVD thin-film deposition systems, ion implantation equipment, electron microscopes, mass spectrometers, and general high-vacuum research chambers. The dual-channel design allows simultaneous monitoring of two gauge inputs — useful in systems with separate roughing and high-vacuum stages. Granville-Phillips (later part of Helixtronics and ultimately Brooks Automation / Watts) was a leading supplier of vacuum instrumentation from the 1950s through the 1990s, and their controllers remain in service in legacy vacuum systems worldwide. The 260016 dates from the era of analog rackmount vacuum instrumentation and interfaces with standard Granville-Phillips ionization and thermocouple gauge tubes via the rear GAUGE connector.
