[ China Instrument Network Instrument Development ] Recently, Zhang Weijun, a researcher at the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Institute of Material Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, made new progress in vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry and application research of free radical reaction kinetics. A vacuum ultraviolet photoionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer with high sensitivity for study of gas phase radical reaction in flow tube is published online in the international journal International Journal of Chemical Kinetics (DOI: 10.1002/kin.21241).

The concentration of free radicals in the atmosphere is low, the lifespan is short, and the chemical activity is strong. As a reaction intermediate, it plays a key role in the atmospheric oxidation process. It is of great significance to carry out research on key chemical reactions of free radicals to reveal the oxidative properties of the atmosphere and the causes of pollution. Among them, the comprehensive detection of free radical reaction species (reactants, transient intermediates and reaction products, etc.) and the identification of isomers with different structures have been hot and difficult issues in this research field.
Tang Xiaofeng, an associate researcher of the research group, further developed vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry technology through the ingenious design of a new iontophoreser. Combined with the self-developed high-resolution, high-sensitivity small-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer, not only the free radicals in the flow reaction system were realized. The high-sensitivity mass spectrometry has reached the advanced level among international peers. At the same time, using synchrotron radiation as the ionization source, the full-scale detection of free radical reaction species was realized by vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry, and the photoionization efficiency spectrum was used to distinguish the same efficiently. Isomers.
The research work was supported by the National Key R&D Program, the National Natural Science Foundation and the Chinese Academy of Sciences' International Cooperation Key Project.

Cnc Milling
How Does 5-axis CNC MILLING WORK?
Milling is the process of cutting and drilling material using a rotating cylindrical tool. This tool is held in a spindle and comes in a variety of sizes and forms. With 5-axis machining, there have two extra rotary axes defined by A, which rotates around the X axis, B, which rotates around the Y axis, and C, which rotates around the Z axis. The combination of additional axes depends on the machine and comes in variations, including AB, AC, or BC.
With 5-axis machining, the table or cutting tool can be tilted, creating the ability to avoid collision with the tool holder and allowing for better access to part geometry. This also ensures improved tool life and cycle time as it helps maintain cutting position and constant chip load. This type of machining offers a push toward single-setup machining, creating shorter lead times and increasing efficiency.
CNC milling is complex machining technique which utilizes several types of pre-programmed CAM and CNC controls to build customized components or parts. We are professional custom CNC milling company and 5 Axis CNC Milling Service provider in China, we offer the manufacturing of precision machined parts and solutions at affordable rates to meet the growing demands of the clients across the world.
