Performance Specifications

All performance specifications stated, including but not limited to, pump-down rates and vacuum levels make the following assumptions:

  • The Vacuum Chamber is empty.
  • The Vacuum Chamber and other system components are clean and dry.
  • The System is being operated at Sea Level
  • The ambient temperature is 18°C +/- 2°C
  • All system components, including those not supplied by Abbess, are appropriate for the system and are functioning properly.
  • The specifications are not impacted by the properties of your product.

If you require performance specifications for conditions other than those listed above, it is vital that you make this known to Abbess Instruments in writing.  Generally Abbess Instruments recommends choosing chamber and pumping system qualities capable of achieving a theoretical vacuum at least an order of magnitude better than the desired operational vacuum. 

It is to be noted that a specification described as '10-5 Torr' is a range, and means the clean, empty, dry chamber system is capable of reaching some undetermined value between 1.0x10-5 and 9.9x10-5 Torr: The (clean, empty, dry) chamber is deemed compliant whether its As-Built base vacuum is 1.0x10-5 Torr or 9.9x10-5 Torr. It does not mean that the chamber is guaranteed to reach every level within that range.

Basic Vacuum Sequencer and Cycle Timer with Vacuum Regulator

Vacuum Sequencer and Cycle Timer with Vacuum Regulator

Optional Motor Start/stop Contactor

This Controller is designed to be a part of our rugged bench top vacuum chambers in production or testing. Some of our customers find this to be a practical solution for using a vacuum chamber in a controlled process to dry products, and degas of parts, liquids, plastics, resins, and epoxies.

This regulator and cycle controller allows the whole vacuum operation, from start to finish, to be controlled, yielding a more consistent product process. After set-up, the chamber and vacuum system can automatically turn on the vacuum, watch for the preset vacuum level, then control the hold time at that vacuum level, then break the vacuum to allow the operator to remove and replace product. All this can happen without the operator watching. Your product becomes more consistent and your process more reliable.

Custom features are always an option.

We can design in computer interfaces with control software and temperature control elements. Call us let's talk about your process requirements.

It is constructed of standard industrial parts. Enclosures are for indoor use to provide protection from dust, dirt, and splashing and spraying oil/coolant. Also rated NEMA 13 for protection from oil/coolant dripping. Made of 14-ga. steel (unless noted) with gray powder-coated finish. Enclosures are also known as JIC (Joint Industrial Council) boxes. Covers have a neoprene gasket and secure with a screw clamp on one side. Enclosures are UL listed and CSA certified.

We will design and build to your process system requirements
