Rapid-Rate Thermal Cycle Chamber

Overview of Equipment

High temperature rate of change with uniformity and reproducibility

The Rapid-Rate Thermal Cycle Chamber is ideal for test requiring quick changes 15°C/min ramp rate in specimen temperature and 23°C/min ramp rate for air temperature(temperature heat up average). It covers various applications from JEDEC, IEC standards to screening.
It features a built-in web application that can be used to operate the chamber from a PC or tablet.
This web application allows you to check the status of the chamber remotely using a web browser.

Features

Uniformity, reproducibility

Wind simulation allows achieving minimum temperature variations of the specimen, for accurate and quick temperature changes. Specimen temperature ramp rate is 15°C/min, air temperature ramp rate is 23°C/min(temperature heat up average).

Greater temperature ramp control

High precision of the specimen temperature control achieved thanks to a sensor for temperature specimen measurement, and the embedded high-speed controller.
In addition:

refrigeration capacities increased at low temperatures,
minimization of the difference between test area and specimen temperatures,
airflow speed uniformity,

lead to excellent temperature ramp control.

Selection of the temperature control mode

Two temperature control modes are available:

A specimen temperature control mode meeting ramp rate conditions of JEDEC standard (15°C/min.)
An air temperature control mode for temperature cycle tests.

Free access

Cable ports are equipped on both left and right side, to ease specimen access and wiring.

Ramp rate input available(patent pending)

The step t ime can be calculated automatically just by inputting the ramp rate.

Multi-language support

You can change the language of the controller by pressing the Language icon and choosing the language. You can select from Japanese, English, Tradit ional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.

Email alarm notification

Details on alarms that have been triggered will be sent to pre-registered e-mail addresses. It is also possible to transmit e-mails when testing has finished.
