SCAL CTR

Vertical thermal shock, up to 220L: 2 thermal environments, 1 basket

Designed to simulate the most intense stresses and the fastest variations, SCAL pushes back the limits of climatic testing.
From -90°C to +220°C, with speeds of variation of up to 30°C/min and transfer between test cabinets in less than 10 seconds, SCAL combines robustness, precision, safety and adaptability, from the laboratory to the production line.

SCAL CTR VERTICAL

Our solution enables you to expose your products to temperature tests using a gondola that moves between different environments.
It also offers the possibility of carrying out Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) tests, a real asset for bringing versatility to your laboratory.

The SCAL CTR series of thermal shock chambers is ideal for the majority of laboratory tests.

It offers you the dual functionality of carrying out thermal shock tests or Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) tests in the test cabinet.

By alternately moving a product from a cold to a hot test cabinet, thermal shock chambers enable you to vary the temperature of the product very quickly, so as to reveal any defects or determine its shelf life.

Technical performance

Temperature range from -90°C to +180°C (+220°C optional)
Test volumes of 65 liters, 120 liters and 220 liters
Transfer time between test cabinets: 10 sec ≤ X ≤ 30 sec (depending on pod size)

Standards

Thermal shocks are designed to perform tests according to specific standards, including the following examples:

DIN -IEC – 60068-2-14

JESD22-A104D

MIL-STD-202G

MIL-STD-750E

MIL-STD-810G

MIL-STD-883H

Features

Control shock, optimize your tests

Control using three sensors, one per zone:
- warm compartment,
- hot and cold compartment
- nacelle
Secure your tests with devices that comply with European standards:
VRT/Choc mode lockable by key, emergency stop on front panel, automatic door locking during platform transfer to protect the operator.

Spirale

SPIRALE lets you control all your equipment. Standard features include :

extra-large 15″ touchscreen,
3 levels of use :

Production: simple, clear and functional
Standard: a versatile level
Laboratory: focused on advanced testing

a tracking alarm in CHoc or VRT mode to ensure reproducibility of your tests.
programmable pre-treatment/post-treatment on Spirale Vision to temperature condition or even dry your samples at the beginning and/or end of the cycle.
an automatic defrost function: Spirale Vision optimizes the cycle so that defrosting can be carried out correctly without disturbing the temperature of the samples under test.

Standard mode for easy program creation.

Time-optimized or “guaranteed step time” mode (Wait for mode) to guarantee a programmed step time regardless of the number of samples on board.

Energy Saving mode where only the test cabinet containing the samples is in operation, reducing energy consumption by between 40% and 70%.

Spirale: reducing energy consumption
