  • Resources

| Cross-section milling rate: 1 mm/hour

The ArBlade 5000 is equipped with a fast-milling Ar ion gun with a milling rate twice as high for cutting-edge performance, thus dramatically reducing the processing time for cross-section preparation.

| Cross-section widths up to 8 mm

For large-area milling requirements such as electronic-device applications, a revolutionary cross-section milling holder design has been developed for wider-area fabrication.

| Hybrid Model: Dual-Milling Configuration Available

The all new ion-milling system is equipped with both cross-section milling and flat milling modes for the most complex application needs.
Equipped with multiple holders, the ArBlade 5000 system accommodates a wide range of applications.

Cross-section Milling

Used to produce wider, undistorted cross sections without applying mechanical stress to the sample

Flat Milling

Used for removing surface layer artifacts and final polish after traditional mechanical polishing techniques.

Cooling unit

Cryogenic versions of the ArBlade 5000 provide active cooling of the cross-section milling stage during sample processing. An integrated liquid nitrogen dewar connected to the cross-section stage effectively removes heat induced during ion-beam milling from the shielding mask and sample.
