Hello everyone,
I want to follow up on this. Lesker reached out to me. It turns out that I was confused about the terminology.
* A backing plate is for brittle materials.
* A "keeper" is for targets to be magnetically secured to the gun.
Lesker sells them separately and we have a fabrication shop on campus that could easily drill and tap it to the target.
I want to thank everyone who reached out to me. Thank you! I feel very welcomed by this community.

Subject: [labnetwork] Ti Sputtering with a Lesker Torus MagKeeper without a backing plate
Hello all,
I have a Lesker PRO-Line Sputter tool and the guns have Torus MagKeepers. I have a student that would like to sputter Ti. I have a Ti target, but it doesn't have a backing. All of my other targets have backings. It seems logical that if I want to use a target on a gun with a MagKeeper I would need a backing (pictured i...
I asked our Lesker sales rep and his response was to use the Ti target without the backing. I asked if the target will slide off of the gun. His response was no.
Does this make sense? Does anyone have experience with sputtering Ti in a Lesker tool?
