Phototesting of different materials through vacuum, airflow, and laser

Phototesting of different materials through vacuum, airflow, and laser
This was a fun project as it involved a custom chamber with the following items: a front door, two airflow diffusers (inside plate with lots of holes), four spare ports, top hole and bottom hole with a gasket to allow for different specimen to be placed, clamped, and tested.

Our client did not tell us much about the details of the project, all we got were the design input requirements and a napkin sketch.

What you see is an acrylic vacuum test chamber. We still have no idea what this chamber is used for, we didn't dare to ask; but it doesn't matter because it was a fun and challenging project and we are happy we were able to help them out.

Our clients prefer to work with us because we are Experts in Custom Fabrication (especially Polymer Fabrication). What are you building? Take a look at the links below and discover some of the cool things we make.

Stainless Steel Vacuum Chambers
Stainless Steel Vacuum Chambers are vacuum chambers made from stainless steel. The advantages of a Stainless Steel Vacuum Chamber are High Vacuum and a Wide Temperature Range of applications.
Vacuum Controller Instruments
Vacuum Controller Instruments are devices that measure and control for vacuum inside a vacuum chamber. A vacuum controller consists of a vacuum gauge, control system, and an Human Machine Interface; options include vacuum pump relays and Vacuum valves. A vacuum Controller will enable you to store products at a specified vacuum level or run a vacuum vs. time profile.
Our Work: Electronic Component Testing of Satellites at High Altitudes
Electronic Components of Satellites behave differently in outer space as compared to how these behave at sea level. How do you know that your satellite will survive outer space? How do you confirm that your circuit boards will function properly at higher altitudes? There is only one way to find out, and that is to test and validate your design.

In this article we will talk about Vacuum Pumps - but also about other equipment which is used to produce vacuum inside a closed system or chamber. We will talk about the workings of a vacuum pump, vacuum generation, pump down, pump horsepower. This article is intended to provide you a practical guide which should help you select the appropriate vacuum pump for your system.
