Manufacturer of spacecraft components needed the ability to process and validate their imaging systems under extreme vacuum and temperature conditions.

We configured a custom thermal vacuum system capable of achieving extreme vacuum and thermal conditions. The system components features a custom LVC3640-3322-HH Series HH Horizontal High Vacuum Chamber, and our HVC-3500 Thermal Vacuum Controller programmable settings, data logging, and custom test recipes. Customer required the use of a two zone thermal system with 2ea refrigerated/heating chillers to achieve the target temperature ranges on the platen and shroud.  This system also included an additional platen for use with LN2.
