6th RT Vide Technological School

In conversation with
the vacuum community.

OPKI took part in the 6th RT Vide Technological School in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. We met researchers, engineers and vacuum specialists to share our approach to vacuum and UHV equipment, built around one central idea: Vacuum Continuity.

From equipment
to practical conversations.

From sample transfer and storage to HV/UHV components, complete systems and automation with OPKI ONE, our discussions focused on the vacuum environment as a whole.

The event was an opportunity to exchange with the people who design, build and operate vacuum systems every day. Thank you to the organisers and participants for their questions, feedback and technical discussions.

JNSPE 2026 / Photoemission

Connecting with the
photoemission community.

OPKI attended the Journées Nationales des Spectroscopies de PhotoÉmission at Sorbonne Université. We met researchers, engineers, instrument manufacturers and laboratory specialists working on advanced sample analysis and photoemission technologies.

Continuity across
scientific equipment.

Conversations explored the need for continuity, interoperability and control across vacuum-based workflows and equipment. Visitors shared technical requirements and feedback on the OPKI approach.

Thank you to everyone who visited our stand, and to Debora Pierucci and the organising team for bringing the community together.
