High Vacuum Bake-Out System for Satellites & Components

SKU:

X-1P32424

A company specializing in satellite platforms for space communication, tracking, surveillance and remote sensing required a high volume, high capacity bake-out oven for batch drying satellite components. System requirements included two internal shelf heaters, external wall heating, each with its own integrated thermal control, customizable recipes, temperatures up to 150 °C, multiple custom ports and feedthroughs.

Using our expertise in both standard vacuum ovens and thermal vacuum systems for space simulation, we engineered a custom bake-out system with all the custom components required to meet the application requirements.
