The new, ultra-compact AMF Series™ Advanced Mass Flow Controller is about the size of a standard Post-it Note pad, giving it the smallest footprint of any mass flow controller (MFC) in its performance class. Combining precise gas flow control, fast response, industry-leading 1000:1 turndown capability and advanced diagnostics, the AMF Series offers equipment manufacturers and end users more operating flexibility and improved reliability and process control without the limitations of traditional compact MFCs. As equipment size across industries continues to shrink while growing in complexity and throughput, maintaining stable and precise gas flow becomes increasingly critical. The AMF Series was developed specifically to address these challenges. With a 1-in. x 3-in. x 3-in. footprint, the MFC fits easily inside compact gas cabinets. Despite its small size, the highly accurate AMF Series features advanced capabilities, including integrated EtherNet/IP™ digital communications and onboard diagnostics for predictive maintenance. By providing actionable diagnostic data alongside accurate flow measurement and control, the AMF Series helps users identify potential issues before they impact production, reducing unplanned downtime and improving overall equipment effectiveness. In addition, the AMF Series was designed to maximize uptime and simplify operation with a universal USB-C service port and embedded web-based interface that streamlines in-situ commissioning and troubleshooting. Industry-leading long-term sensor stability helps reduce maintenance requirements and eliminate periodic recipe adjustments and recalibrations. The AMF Series also supports multi-gas configurability and simplified ordering bundles, helping OEMs reduce system complexity while streamlining product selection and integration. — Brooks Instrument, Hatfield, Pa.
