Edwards
High Vacuum International, a world leader
in the design and manufacture of vacuum systems and components, has been
supplying vacuum measuring instruments around the world for over 35 years.
The company's mission statement is; "to excel as the world's leading
supplier of vacuum equipment by providing advanced technology and services
of the highest quality which ensure long term customer satisfaction and
acclaim". Certainly, Edwards has always been at the forefront of measuring
instrument developments: in the mid 1980's the 1000 and 2000 series were
launched, the first microprocessor based vacuum gauge controllers. In the
last few years Edwards has led the way with probably the most significant
advance in vacuum measurement yet with the introduction of a range of Active
gauges, displays and controllers.
The acquisition of Datametrics Inc during the '80's broadened the Edwards
range of vacuum measuring and controlling instruments. Edwards remains committed
to research and development in the field of vacuum measurement and will
continue to harness new technologies by creating innovative new products
to meet the changing requirements of its customers.
Chell Instruments is the specialist distributor
for these precision vacuum measurement and control products and provides
full repair and calibration facilities in the UK.
