The Galaxy TVAC TVC800-800SQ is a versatile rectangular thermal vacuum chamber designed for rigorous aerospace testing. Manufactured in stainless steel, it provides robust construction and accommodates a wide range of applications—ranging from component outgassing to propulsion subsystem tests. A slide-out thermal plate (configured as an option) simplifies loading and positioning of DUTs, while an optional thermal shroud can be integrated for enhanced temperature control. A front-swinging door (left- or right-mounted) ensures easy access, and the system is supported by a powerful vacuum subsystem for stable, repeatable test conditions and the system can be configured for ballroom installation or thru-wall. Equipped with our award-winning SpaceSoft™ automation software and on-board industrial PC, the TVC800-800SQ offers advanced data logging, recipe-based operations, and real-time monitoring. For teams requiring precise environmental control, custom flange configurations, and integrated partial-pressure analysis, this chamber delivers a flexible platform that can evolve alongside your testing needs.

The R&D system, PVD-2-RS is our low cost PVD system, utilizing two resistive sources for deposition.
CATEGORY

We also manufacture and design custom PVD (physical vapor deposition) systems for demanding thinfilm R&D applications.
CATEGORY

We are also manufacturing reverse engineered consumable parts for plasma etch and deposition systems.

Horizontally loaded thermal vacuum test chambers allows for horizontal loading of the DUT (device under test). Our solutions are to a large extent custom designed, as dimensions of the DUT many times drive the size of the chambers. Inner diameters typically range from 500mm in diameter up to several meters depending on the enduser test requirements. We can deliver with hinged doors in both the front and rear of the chamber, alternatively having only one end with a door. The door can be left or right hinged, or mounted on a sliding mechanism. By default the thermal test plate is installed on a sliding rail mechanism to simplify loading/unloading and setup of the test campaign.
