Altair Technologies has a history of innovation and developing creative solutions to customers’ unique assignments.
Engineering Milestones
- In the mid 90’s, Altair introduced its first-ever proprietary products, an S-Band RF Window designed for medical oncology accelerators. Today we sell hundreds of these RF Windows and have leveraged this original design into many new RF Windows for various applications.
- In 2003, Altair developed an all-brazed Degas Pedestal for a semiconductor capital equipment OEM, and soon thereafter, we replaced their existing supplier and began supplying this high-level assembly in Tier 1 fashion.
- In 2003, Altair developed and later qualified its very first Electron Gun and 2 Liter Ion Pump products targeted at medical accelerators used for oncology treatments.
- By 2004, Altair completed an extensive product transfer with a local defense contractor and began supplying millions of dollars worth of high-level assembly products for a Navy shipboard radar system.
- In 2007, Altair submitted a patent application for an improved and novel fixturing design used primarily on vacuum brazed aluminum assemblies.
- In 2007, Altair developed many specialized in-house processes, component subassemblies and tooling to remanufacture its first-ever S-Band Medical Accelerator.
- In 2007, Altair set a new in-house record for producing 20,000+ Electrode assemblies per month on a recurring basis becoming not only a high-mix low-volume producer, but a high-volume production house as well.
- In 2008, Altair perfected a process and mechanical design to eliminate the spring-back efect that occurs on Moly grids after forming and etching.
- In 2008, Altair collaborated with a large oncology OEM to facilitate the manufacture of a next-generation Accelerator, successfully building several guides to specification.
- In 2009, Altair developed and shipped a high energy Target Assembly compatible with several thousand oncology machines/accelerators worldwide.
