Varian, Inc. Digital Compact Leak Detector Offers Exclusive Technology.Business Editors/High Tech Writers PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 18, 2001 Varian, Inc. (Nasdaq:VARI Va´ri n. 1. (Zool.) The ringtailed lemur (Lemur catta) of Madagascar. Its long tail is annulated with black and white. ) today unveiled enhanced leak detector technology designed to provide ease of use, productivity, and integrity in manufacturing systems for production, assembly, or verification testing. The 990 dCLD II is a helium mass spectrometer A helium mass spectrometer (often called a leak detector) or sniffer, is a scientific instrument, used to detect very small leaks, typically using a vacuum and injecting helium around a chamber or cavity. leak detector designed to serve as a component in original equipment manufacturer (OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and ) systems such as those in the automotive, refrigeration refrigeration, process for drawing heat from substances to lower their temperature, often for purposes of preservation. Refrigeration in its modern, portable form also depends on insulating materials that are thin yet effective. , and industrial uses. Component leak detectors test the integrity of the product being manufactured whether it is an automobile air conditioner, home refrigerator, or semiconductor package. The 990 dCLD II offers several advantages, including unique technology allowing the system to eliminate a "false negative" reading. This feature greatly reduces the chance of operator error and assures repeatable results and more reliable leak testing in a production environment. "Varian, Inc.'s innovative solutions span a breadth of vacuum markets and applications, thus providing a measure of stability," says Allen J. Lauer Allen J. Lauer is the Chairman of Varian, Inc., an $843 million dollar company specializing in scientific instruments and vacuum technologies. He has also served as the Chief Executive Officer and President of Varian, Inc. from 1999 to 2003. , Varian, Inc. president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "The new Varian 990 dCLD II leak detector is just one example of a unique product that is used in a variety of manufacturing environments to monitor product quality and production integrity." For example, Michigan Automotive Compressor, Inc. (MACI MACI Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory MACI Michigan Automotive Compressor, Inc. MACI Military Adaptation of Commercial Items MACI Multiple-Access Cryptographic Interface MACI Management Agent Configuration Item MACI Montana Alliance for Citizen Information ) has specified the 990 dCLDII for use in their latest production line and upgrading their current production lines, over a cabinet style leak detector. Working with Varian applications personnel, the 990 dCLD II is part of a solution that enables significant overall system cost reductions. Varian, Inc. developed and patented contra-flow(TM), enabling superior uptime and reduced maintenance. The contra-flow standard is now used by a majority of integrators building test systems based on helium mass spectrometers. The 990 dCLD II is built upon Varian's proven leak detector electronics architecture. Varian, Inc. (Nasdaq:VARI) is a major supplier of scientific instruments, vacuum technologies, and specialized contract electronics manufacturing services Electronic manufacturing services (EMS) is term used for companies that design, test, manufacture, distribute and provide return/repair services for electronic component and assemblies for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). .
