This Ideal Vacuum Cube 6x6 inch vacuum chamber standard, low-iron, tempered glass viewing window plate assembly is designed to fit our 6x6x6 or 6x6x12 modular Cube chambers. The standard tempered glass window viewing plate assembly is a popular Cube option, commonly used for general, direct observation of roughing or high-vacuum chamber processes and can be used to facilitate optical alignments of chamber components, observe degassing of fluids, or used to help teach in-vacuo processes by direct observation. The glass material is 3/8" thick, tempered, low-iron, high-clarity glass. Surface quality and flatness is Q4 per ASTM 1036-06 and 1048-04. The low iron content of the glass results in it having a slight blueish tint. This economical glass is unsuitable for high power laser experiments.

This Ideal Vacuum Cube 6x6 inch vacuum chamber fused quartz viewing window plate assembly is designed to fit our 6x6x6 or 6x6x12 modular Cube chambers. The fused quartz window viewing plate assembly is often selected for experiments where improved optical clarity, extended wavelength transmissivity is required beyond the visible range, and where cost is a factor. Our fused quartz windows are manufactured with the highest quality natural quartz resulting in the highest levels of purity and lowest inclusion and bubble levels. Comparable to Heraeus TSC-3, these windows have improved transmittance, and a wider useful wavelength range than standard glass. Characteristics include low refractive index variations and low thermal expansion coefficient. Fused quartz is used for semiconductor applications such as plasma etch and deposition systems and recommended when low alkali and low aluminum content are specified. It is often used for transmissive optics in the visible and near-to-mid infrared wavelengths where a high laser damage threshold is required. Fused quartz has absorbtion bands in the 2600 to 2900 nm region, similar to fused silica but not as strong. It is unsuitable for UV work due to absorbtion in the 270 nm region.

This is an Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 inch TVAC plate for cryogenic testing and for trapping condensable gas vapors under high vacuum such as water and solvents that outgas from components inside the vacuum. Without appropriate trapping, condensable vapors can intrude into the mechanical pump, limiting the ultimate base pressure of the pump to unacceptably high levels. This TVAC plate produces lower base pressures and faster pump down cycles. This plate may be operated at temperatures as low as -200°C (-328°F) The plate is mounted to the top of the Cube with the LN fill port oriented vertically. Once under vacuum, liquid nitrogen is poured into the fill port and enters the plate’s 0.14 liter internal fluid reservoir.

It can also function as a chilled trap for chemical and high boiling point liquids. Multiple TVAC plates may be mounted to a Cube and plumbed together to enhance temperature control capability. Fluid is commonly supplied by a recirculating heater or chiller such as those made by Thermo Scientific, Neslab, and Huber. Insulated supply and return hoses connect the heater/chiller system to the thermal plate with 3/8" OD tube fittings.

This Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 inch heater plate will safely provide up to 140°C of uniformly distributed heat to the vacuum side of the plate surface, through a 120VAC 160W heating element. This thermal vacuum plate expands the capabilities of the Ideal Vacuum Cube whereby the Cube can be used as a Thermal Vacuum Chamber (TVAC). Applications include thermal stability testing, surface coating and implantation, and damage testing under thermal load. Thermal Vacuum Chambers are often used to replicate or simulate the extreme conditions of outer space and are frequently employed in the testing of spacecraft and aerospace parts or components under a simulated space environment, and control outgassing for a giving process. Please note that the maximum allowable temperature using Viton O-rings is 150°C.

These 6x6 Vacuum Cube Stage Plates allow dynamic fine location adjustment of your test piece within an evacuated Vacuum Cube. These plates permit 0.50” (13mm) of X and Y axis to travel over hardened steel linear bearings for precision motion and long life. The stage plate itself is spring tensioned in both axes, eliminating backlash when reversing travel direction. This sale does NOT include micrometer heads or motors allowing you total flexibility choosing your custom positioning solution. On the vacuum side, the plate and moving blocks are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with vented Stainless Steel 304 or 316 fasteners, eliminating virtual leaks. Air-side metal surfaces are powder coated blue. Although the self-tensioning system allows this plate to be mounted in any orientation, the optimum loading direction is with the mic supporting the load due to gravity. The load limit when mounted flat is 4lbs, and 2lbs when mounted vertically.

These plates permit 0.50” (13mm) of X and Y axis to travel over hardened steel linear bearings for precision motion and long life. The stage plate itself is spring tensioned in both axes, eliminating backlash when reversing travel direction. High quality Mitutoyo micrometer heads will move your target horizontally 0.025” for each complete revolution of the head, with repeatable positioning of 0.0001”, through high performance viton shaft seals. The heads are also compatible with high precision motor actuators if needed (please call for more information). On the vacuum side, the plate and moving blocks are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with vented Stainless Steel 304 or 316 fasteners, eliminating virtual leaks. Air-side metal surfaces are powder coated blue. Although the self-tensioning system allows this plate to be mounted in any orientation, the optimum loading direction is with the mic supporting the load due to gravity. The load limit when mounted flat is 4lbs, and 2lbs when mounted vertically.

These 6x6 Vacuum Cube Stage Plates allow dynamic fine location adjustment of your test piece within an evacuated Vacuum Cube. These plates permit 0.50” (13mm) of X and Y axis and 0.25" of Z axis travel over hardened steel linear bearings for precision motion and long life. The stage plate itself is spring tensioned in all 3 axes, eliminating backlash when reversing travel direction. This sale does NOT include micrometer heads or motors allowing you total flexibility choosing your custom positioning solution.

These 6x6 Vacuum Cube XYZ Stage Plates allow dynamic fine location adjustment of your test piece within an evacuated Vacuum Cube. These plates permit 0.50” (13mm) of X and Y axis travel and 0.25" of Z axis travel over hardened steel linear bearings for precision motion and long life. The stage plate itself is spring tensioned in all three axes, eliminating backlash when reversing travel direction. High quality Mitutoyo micrometer heads will move your target horizontally 0.025” for each complete revolution of the head, with repeatable positioning of 0.001”, through high performance viton shaft seals.

This is an ISO-F 63 gate valve adapter plate kit for the 6 x 6 Ideal Vacuum Cube. This adapter allows the compact connection of an ISO-F 63 gate valve (with tapped mounting holes) to an Ideal Vacuum Cube™, without additional plumbing or fittings. The adapter consists of two plates. One plate has our patented Taper-Seal™ O-ring seal and is mounted to the Cube frame. The other plate is mounted to the gate valve’s threaded flange. An ISO 63 centering ring with O-ring is sandwiched between the two plates which are then screwed together to make the seal. This adapter kit can be used to isolate a turbomolecular pump from the chamber. It creates the shortest possible pumping path for maximum high vacuum performance.
