Design and production of scientific instruments for synchrotron light sources,
nuclear physics research and analytical laboratories
ABOUT US
CINEL was founded in Padua in the 70’s with a technical partnership of INFN LNL Legnaro Laboratory on particle accelerator projects and since then has been involved in some of the most challenging projects all over Europe.
Nowadays, CINEL has reached a long experience on mechanical design and manufacture of apparatuses in several scientific and research fields such as Synchrotron Light Sources (monochromators, fully integrated front ends and beam lines, experimental chambers), as well as accelerator components (vacuum chambers, accelerating cavities, radiofrequency quadrupole cavities).
CINEL has acquired skilled experience in the field of cryogenics, superconductivity , astrophysics and bio-mechanics collaborating with well-known institutions as a qualified partner in the mechanical, thermal and control system design and it can now propose turnkey solutions with high level standardization.
CAD-CAM environment and CNC machines allow Cinel to fully develop whole technical projects, from the design phase to the product certification taking care of all the electro-mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic aspects.
