Cold Trap, Feedthrough & Flange Fabrication
for vacuum & high-vacuum systems
YTI designs, machines, welds, repairs, and fabricates custom vacuum hardware for coating systems, cryogenic systems, production chambers, and high-vacuum process equipment. From cold traps and vacuum feedthroughs to custom flanges, adapters, blank-off plates, manifolds, and chamber modifications, our in-house fabrication team builds precision components that fit your system, hold vacuum, and support reliable production.
Built for your system, not pulled from a shelf
Custom fabrication for hard-to-source vacuum components
Vacuum systems rarely fail because one generic part is missing. They fail because a flange is damaged, a feedthrough is obsolete, a cold trap no longer matches the process, or a chamber modification needs to be built correctly the first time. YTI fabricates the custom hardware that keeps those systems serviceable, leak-tight, and production-ready.
Our fabrication work supports vacuum coating equipment, cryogenic systems, diffusion-pumped chambers, electron-beam systems, sputtering systems, research tools, and legacy high-vacuum equipment. We can work from drawings, samples, damaged parts, field measurements, or system requirements, then machine, weld, assemble, and verify the component for fit and serviceability.
If the project is part of a larger redesign, chamber upgrade, or automation project, see custom vacuum engineering & fabrication. If you need replacement parts for an existing system, see vacuum coating & cryogenic chiller components.
Cold traps, feedthroughs, flanges & adapters
Vacuum hardware we fabricate
YTI fabricates both one-off components and repeat replacement parts for vacuum and high-vacuum systems. If your component is not listed, send photos, dimensions, drawings, or the failed part and we will confirm the best fabrication path.
Cold Traps & Cryogenic Traps
Custom cold traps, baffles, trap bodies, coil supports, and cryogenic hardware built to protect pumps, reduce vapor load, and fit your chamber layout.
Electrical, Fluid & Rotary Feedthroughs
Feedthrough repair, replacement, adaptation, and custom fabrication for electrical power, signals, cooling water, gas, motion, and rotary transfer.
Vacuum Flanges & Adapters
Custom flanges, adapter plates, reducers, bolt patterns, transition pieces, and replacement hardware for chamber, pump, valve, and source connections.
Blank-Off Plates & Base Plates
New and resurfaced blank-off plates, base plates, top plates, cover plates, access plates, and custom machined chamber interfaces.
Vacuum Manifolds & Piping
Custom manifolds, welded vacuum piping, pump connections, valve transitions, gas lines, and process plumbing fabricated for clean routing and service access.
Chamber Modifications
Ports, flanges, access points, source mounts, feedthrough locations, brackets, and hardware modifications added to existing vacuum chambers.

Common fabrication needs
Problems custom vacuum fabrication solves
Whether the goal is restoring a damaged component, adapting new equipment, or improving reliability, YTI fabricates hardware around the exact vacuum, fitment, and process requirements of your system.
Obsolete Components
Legacy parts that are unavailable from the original manufacturer can often be duplicated, adapted, repaired, or redesigned.
Mismatched Flanges
Adapter flanges, bolt-pattern changes, reducers, spacers, and transition plates solve fitment issues between chambers, pumps, valves, and sources.
Leaking or Damaged Hardware
Cracked welds, damaged sealing faces, worn plates, leaking fittings, and distorted hardware can be repaired, resurfaced, replaced, or rebuilt.
New Feedthrough Requirements
Electrical, fluid, gas, cooling, signal, and motion requirements can be added or modified when the chamber process changes.
Pump Protection & Vapor Load
Cold traps, baffles, and custom vapor-management hardware help protect pumps and improve process stability.
Chamber Upgrade Projects
New ports, source mounts, service access, manifolds, and hardware modifications support upgraded processes and expanded capability.
From measurement to finished hardware
What YTI fabrication includes
Every fabrication project starts with the real use case: the chamber, vacuum level, sealing interface, process conditions, service access, and part availability. From there, YTI builds the component to fit, seal, and perform.
Design Review
We review drawings, samples, dimensions, photos, sealing requirements, chamber layout, materials, and process conditions before fabrication begins.
Precision Machining
Machined plates, flanges, adapters, sealing faces, bores, bolt patterns, brackets, and component interfaces built to the required fit.
Vacuum Welding
Welded stainless hardware, manifolds, trap bodies, feedthrough assemblies, chamber ports, and vacuum piping fabricated for high-vacuum service.
Fitment & Assembly
Finished components are assembled and checked for geometry, connection points, clearance, bolt alignment, and serviceability.
Leak-Ready Verification
YTI fabricates with vacuum integrity in mind and can support leak detection, troubleshooting, and field verification when required.
Documentation & Support
Projects can include notes, measurements, recommendations, and support for installation, repair, or future replacement planning.
From concept to installed component
How custom vacuum fabrication works
Scope
Send the drawing, sample, failed part, photos, dimensions, chamber information, or process requirement. We identify the component function, fit, sealing interface, and urgency.
Design & Quote
YTI reviews materials, geometry, ports, bolt patterns, sealing faces, cooling or electrical needs, and fabrication complexity, then provides a practical fabrication path.
Machine & Weld
The component is machined, welded, modified, resurfaced, or assembled by our in-house fabrication team using vacuum-system experience.
Verify & Support
The finished part is checked for fit, function, and serviceability. YTI can support installation, leak troubleshooting, or field service if the project requires it.
Fabrication can be handled as a standalone component project or as part of a larger chamber upgrade, coating-system repair, or field-service job. See full service details →
