SideKick Cryogenic Systems

View of cold plate

Ultra-High Vacuum. Low Vibrations. Low Temperature

The SideKick systems mount the cryocooler directly to the floor, leaving the optics table quiet and open. Differential sealing enables superior vacuum performance .

This series mounts the cryocooler directly to the floor, removing energy and freeing up table space
