To ensure continued optimal performance of your tool, this support package has been designed specifically for customers using their own on-site technical team to maintain their equipment and includes invaluable support provided remotely by Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology’s highly-skilled experts.

Self Sufficiency

Our Self Sufficiency packages give you the freedom to manage and maintain your system using your own engineers – with a little help from us when you need it.

Self Sufficiency Package

If you want to take care of your equipment inhouse, our self-sufficiency package gives you the in-depth training required to maintain uptime with access to help desk support, discounted spares and engineering time.

This package is suitable for Universities,
Institutions and pilot R&D production who have engineering support on-site but require maintenance training for Engineering teams.
