Pre-Engineered TVAC Platforms
Standardised thermal vacuum chamber platforms with modular configurations and repeatable performance for aerospace qualification, environmental simulation, and research testing.
T Series TVAC
Compact cubic thermal vacuum chamber platforms designed for repeatable environmental simulation, subsystem validation, and laboratory workflows. The T Series combines controlled thermal and vacuum conditions with a standardised architecture for research and qualification applications.
Its cubic geometry provides a flat base plate and maximized usable floor area — ideal for fixtures, optical benches, and fast integration of planar-mounted hardware. Standard configurations support vacuum performance down to < 1 × 10⁻⁶ mbar and thermal operation down to −190 °C, depending on the selected system setup.
Cubic Geometry
Cube-based chamber layout for straightforward payload access, efficient internal volume usage, and flexible fixture integration.
Low Temperature Capability
Configured for thermal operation down to −190 °C, depending on system configuration and test setup.
Ultimate Vacuum
Designed for vacuum performance down to < 1 × 10⁻⁶ mbar, depending on chamber size and pumping package.
Control Integration
Pre-engineered control system interface with data acquisition and automation support.
C Series TVAC
Cylindrical thermal vacuum chamber platforms designed for repeatable environmental simulation, subsystem qualification, and robust laboratory operation. The C Series combines controlled thermal and vacuum conditions with a standardised architecture for research and qualification applications.
Its cylindrical geometry provides an inherently pressure-stable vessel with efficient, homogeneous shroud coverage — ideal for larger volumes and radiative thermal balance testing. Standard configurations support vacuum performance down to < 1 × 10⁻⁶ mbar and thermal operation down to −190 °C, depending on the selected system setup.
Cylindrical Geometry
Cylindrical chamber layout suited for uniform radial design, efficient shroud integration, and classic vacuum chamber configurations.
Low Temperature Capability
Configured for thermal operation down to −190 °C, depending on system configuration and test setup.
Ultimate Vacuum
Designed for vacuum performance down to < 1 × 10⁻⁶ mbar, depending on chamber size and pumping package.
Control Integration
Pre-engineered control system interface with data acquisition and automation support.
