S-CUBE TVAC
Complex functional system for research and aerospace industry
consisting of a vacuum chamber, a temperature control unit and a vacuum control system.
Take a look at our TVAC data sheet
Why S-CUBE TVAC?
The chambers are designed to provide an extensive environmental test system to simulate the outer space and varying thermal conditions. It allows to test various parts in high vacuum less than 1×10-6 mbar and in clean environment.
Smart
In comparison to welded vacuum chambers, the wall orientation and position of our modular panels and hinges can be changed, if the experimental or testing procedure must be modified in the future.
Simple
You say, what you need, and we create a perfect vacuum and thermal solution for you. We offer ready-to-use controllers with a simple user interface.
Sooo flexible
We offer many ready-made design variants, from which a complete vacuum system can be assembled. You can choose from many sizes, shapes, power levels, technical solutions, surface modifications etc. to best suit your needs.

Temperature Control Technology
Our experience – your advantage
Large radiating surface for fast temperature cycle using hydroformed stainless steel
pillow plate with peak vacuum performance thanks to our long vacuum expertise.
Refrigerated / Heating Circulators from -91 °C to +250 °C.
High temperature accuracy up to ±0.01°C.
Cooling/Heating Solutions:
- Cooling/heating only of the cold plate + radiation shields on all sides inside the chamber
- Cooling/heating of the whole surface – integrated cooling / heating pillow on all five walls plates with radiation shields and cold plate on the bottom
- Cooling/heating of the movable cold plate
For more demanding solutions up to -196 °C we can offer a system using mobile storage tanks for cryogenic liquefied nitrogen. Since liquid nitrogen is a compact and easily portable source of nitrogen gas, it is an excellent refrigerant.
- Integrated safety device on the container neck
- Pressure display
- Fill level and pressure indicator
- EK-Siphon with exhaust and overflow valve
- Integrated pressure build-up
- Filling hose (1,5m) with phase separator
Other temperature solutions on demand.
Vacuum Solutions
Each chamber can be fitted with a roughing, turbomolecular or cryogenic pumping system of various sizes.
Cleaning in ISO 8 and ISO 6 cleanroom can be offered.

Pump types
- Oil Sealed Vacuum Pumps
- Dry Vacuum Pumps (for clean processes, sensitive to oil mist)
2 vacuum levels
- 1×10-1 mbar – simpler system without a turbomolecular pump
- up to 1×10-7 mbar – system with a turbomolecular pump
Vacuum Control
The system is controlled by an integrated controller or a custom-made user interface with touch screen to cover simple or more complex systems. It means, it can be controlled both with a push-button solution and with remote access. Vacuum controller includes automatic pump down, venting and interlocks for safe operation.
Description of functions:
- observe the pump during operation
- pump start / stop / activate standby speed / error reset
- show parameters on the main screen (nominal speed, current, bearing temperature, pressure values)
- show warning and error memory with description
- activate the pump depending on pressure
- attach laptop and operate the pump via web server
- view logged data in real-time
- read out logging memory and analyze with PC tool
- read out parameter set and error memory of the pump with a PC
Accessories
Vacuum viewport
Take a close look onto your vacuum process with our viewport with LED light with adjustable brightness.
Following models are compatible with DN 160 and DN100 ISO-F and ISO-K flanges:
- Standard viewports without light
- LED white light vieports
- RGB LED color viewports
- Viewports with removable thin protecting glass for coating processes
Viewport materials
We can use different materials depending on their transmission ranges ((ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), infrared radiation (IR)) – see figure below:
Viewport sizes
We can offer you our viewports in two possible sizes:
Electrical Feedthroughs and Flanges
Designed to measure, power or control internal systems in vacuum. Various electrical feedthrough can be integrated on KF flange standard.
Examples of some most used types:
- Sub-D feedthroughs
- Circular multipin miniature feedthroughs
- Fibre optics
- Co-axial feedthroughs
- Power/High Voltage feedthroughs
- Thermocouple feedthroughs
We offer different types of flanges (ISO K, ISO F, ISO KF) that can be integrated by milling directly into the chamber wall or by welding neck flanges in the case of welded chambers.
