A company that provides cleanroom particle counters and contamination monitoring needed an internally heated vacuum oven system. They customized our standard LVO Series Vacuum Oven for their specific process, which allowed them to receive a feature-packed system in a short lead time.
To meet their needs, we started with our standard LVO Series 18″ Cylindrical Vacuum Oven and added several custom options. These included custom ports and feedthroughs designed to support their instrumentation. In addition, the internally heated aluminum shelf ensures even temperature control through direct heat transfer between the shelf and the customer’s parts.
Along with this, the oven includes an HVC-2500 Heat & Vacuum Controller that lets operators set and hold vacuum levels and temperatures with precision. The control box features start and stop buttons and a color touchscreen PLC with analog inputs. As a result, users can easily manage test cycles, monitor conditions, and store repeatable test recipes. Other helpful functions include PID temperature control, a solid-state relay, overtemperature protection, thermocouple input, and up to five programmable recipes with as many as twenty steps each.
