Brooks Instrument Launches Breakthrough Ultra-Compact Mass Flow Controllers

Brooks Instrument has introduced the AMF Series™ Advanced Mass Flow Controller (MFC), an ultra-compact gas flow control solution designed to deliver high performance in space-constrained industrial and research environments. 

The new system combines precise gas flow measurement, advanced diagnostics and digital connectivity to support a wide range of applications requiring accurate process control.

The AMF Series features one of the smallest footprints in its performance class while offering a 1000:1 turndown ratio, enabling accurate flow control across a broad operating range. 

Designed for compact equipment, the controller provides rapid response times and stable gas delivery, helping improve process consistency and operational efficiency.

The system incorporates integrated EtherNet/IP™ communication and onboard diagnostic capabilities that continuously monitor device performance. These features enable predictive maintenance by identifying potential issues before they affect production, reducing unplanned downtime and supporting more reliable operation.

A USB-C service port and embedded web-based interface also simplify installation, commissioning and troubleshooting within existing systems.

The controller has been developed to support multi-gas configuration, allowing manufacturers to reduce system complexity while improving flexibility during product integration. Long-term sensor stability minimises the need for recalibration and maintenance, helping maintain consistent performance over extended periods.

The AMF Series is intended for use in applications that require precise low-flow gas control, including bioprocessing, laboratory-scale bioreactors, thin-film coating, vacuum deposition, carbon capture technologies, hydrogen systems, analytical instrumentation, research laboratories and industrial gas processing. 

The launch reflects the growing demand for compact, high-performance flow control technologies capable of supporting increasingly advanced manufacturing and research processes.
