A space manufacturing technology industry customer required a high vacuum system to test and validate the integrity of their state-of-the-art components under high vacuum and hot and cold temperature conditions.

We configured a system using our standard 30" diameter by 36" deep vacuum chamber utilizing a stainless-steel thermal pull-out platen to cover the targeted temperature range using an external chiller setup.   Vacuum chamber is equipped with thermal cylindrical shroud, large pullout platen, and 6” diameter viewport.

 System is mounted on a ruggedized mobile frame and testing is controlled entirely using our versatile HVC-3500 Thermal Vacuum Controller.


  • Chamber Configuration: 30" DIA x 36" L Horizontal Cylindrical Vacuum Chamber, made of 304 stainless steel and a #4 grain polish on the inside and glass bead blast exterior. 6-inch glass viewport, and internal LED lighting
  • Process Controller: HVC-3500 Thermal Vacuum Controller with 7” color touch screen
  • System Enclosure: Fully integrated and enclosed system mounted on ruggedized mobile cart
