National Electrostatics Corp. (NEC) is the world's leader in the manufacture of electrostatic ion beam accelerator systems. A private, employee-owned company, NEC was incorporated in Middleton, Wisconsin in 1965.Over more than 50 years since our founding, NEC has grown to over 90 employees including electrical and mechanical engineers, ion beam system technicians, craftspeople, and other skilled workers. The NEC factory is located approximately 20 minutes from Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin. Our facilities cover over 75,000 sq. ft. and include both manual and CNC machine shops, a complete metal/ceramic bonding facility, vacuum components and electrical components assembly areas, as well as space for extensive testing of Pelletron accelerator systems and materials analysis instruments.We pride ourselves at NEC on making a wide variety of Pelletron accelerator systems to meet customers' needs. To date we have manufactured over 230 Pelletron systems, with sales in over 50 countries throughout the world. These systems produce ion beams of essentially all stable nuclei with energies ranging from a few keV to hundreds of MeV. The Pelletron is the world's only commercially available accelerator that incorporates an all metal and ceramic acceleration tube, with no organic material in the vacuum volume.
