Temperature and climatic test chambers up to 25 K/min

Our stress screening test chambers, TempEvent model, feature high rates of temperature change, from 10 to 25 K/min. They are ideal for ageing tests as well as for electrically operated test specimens with high heat loads (e.g. 8000 W at 20°C) and heavy test specimens (of up to 500 kg). For these challenges, in particular, where standard solutions quickly reach their limits, our temperature and climatic test chambers are designed for rapid thermal cycling tests.

This is what makes our stress screening test chambers unique.

For AI and electronics with high waste heat

With heat compensation of 8000 W at 20°C, for example, our test chambers are best suited for testing high-performance hardware such as CPUs, GPUs or TPUs. Even in the case of intensive waste heat from the test specimen, they ensure stable test conditions and reliable results, even under extreme loads.

Requirements from the defence sector

Heavy loads meets dynamics: our test chambers enable the testing of heavy test specimens weighing up to 500 kg without compromising on the temperature change rate. This allows you to test even high-mass components under realistic, dynamic conditions.

Protect your valuable test material.

Triple test material fuse included as standard. Active test items can be deenergized via a potential-free contact. Test chamber can switch off in the event of a fault in the test material or be set to a defined value (optional).

Efficiency meets performance

Despite their high performance, our test chambers are equipped with the intelligent GreenMode. This enables a significant reduction in energy consumption and thus also in the total cost of ownership (TOC). For sustainable testing processes without compromising performance.

Networked. Flexible. Future-proof.

Our test chambers can be seamlessly integrated using our SIMPATI software and interfaces such as SimServ, LabView, OPC UA, PROFIBUS, PROFINET or EtherCAT. SECS/GEM is available for the semiconductor industry; ASCII continues to be available as before.

Environmentally friendly cooling with CO₂

Where -50°C is sufficient, we offer our high-performance test chambers with the natural refrigerant CO₂ (GWP = 1) on request.
This has clear advantages: lower electricity costs, no expenditure for leak testing, and quieter operation. A sustainable solution that pays off.

Hardware test object protection

In addition to the software-side test object protection, the hardware test object protection is also included in the basic equipment. With its own Pt100 sensor and its own hardware, it is system-independent and can effectively protect the test object from incorrect temperatures in the event of a fault.

USB and Ethernet

In the basic equipment, a USB port for data recording (csv) and an Ethernet port are available. The cabinet can be controlled via the network connection with our software S!MPATI® or the data can be recorded. Additionally, the cabinet can also be controlled by external programs via our own protocol SimServ.

Potential-free contact

In the basic equipment, a potential-free contact is available. In the event of a malfunction of the test cabinet, the test object can be switched off via this contact. This can prevent an unacceptable temperature rise in the test chamber due to heat dissipation of the test object.

Access Ports

The size, position, and design of our access ports are as individual as your test object and your tests. Talk to us. We have the right solution for every requirement.

Water tank for climatic tests

For climatic tests, a water tank with a volumetric capacity of 20 litres is located under the test space door. If the appropriate water supply is available, it can be filled manually or automatically (included as standard). Optionally, a demineralisation unit can be pre-installed.

Digital inputs and outputs

With this, the test object can be controlled via appropriate circuits. For example, it can be switched on and off via the digital channel using a relay. Optionally, a specific behavior of the test chamber can be programmed via the inputs. For example, in the event of solidification of the test object, the test chamber can be regulated to room temperature to prevent aging of the test object.

LED test room lighting

In the test chamber, there is an LED ceiling lighting. It ensures uniform and bright illumination, even when standing in front of the test chamber and blocking the incoming light with the upper body.

Test room with a window in the door

A lot of the time, it’s important to have good view of the test specimen. This is why our chambers can be equipped with a heated, 5x glazed pane.

Mobile and undercarriage

The test cabinet is designed to be transported with simple tools. Optionally, rollers are available, allowing the test cabinet to be moved without any tools.

Attached web panel

Control/programming and monitoring unit, 18 cm (7”) for sizes 270 and 480 litres. 25.4 cm (10”) for sizes 800 and 1300 litres. This allows all settings to be made and test programs programmed conveniently.

Environmental stress screening – at top speed to assured quality.

During the ESS test, the test specimens are subjected to precisely pre-defined stress in order to detect defects in components and circuit boards early enough. Finding weaknesses significantly improves the robustness of the products. 
 
The environmental stress screening (ESS) of test specimens is achieved by means of thermal stress with rapid changes in temperature. ESS is the most effective method of detecting poor joint soldering and SMD processes as well as defects in components and errors in production, in good time before delivery.
 
Our ESS chambers achieve these results thanks to the heating and cooling capacities as well as the circulating air volumes being significantly higher that in conventional test chambers.

Ready for the latest in high-performance hardware.

Practically every device has a chip in it. From sensors in cars to LED lights for minimally invasive surgery – we need to and must be able to rely on the quality and function of all components under all conditions. Every day, everywhere and in every weather.
 
Our test chambers compensate for up to 8000W of waste heat at 20°C – ideal for testing GPUs, TPUs and other AI components. The SECS/GEM interface means that the systems can be integrated seamlessly into your manufacturing environment.
 
Available as an option: ESD protection for sensitive electronic and nitrogen flushing to reliably prevent corrosion on contacts.

Defence testing: test safely – also under extreme conditions:

Thanks to the optional ATEX equipment and robust heavy-duty rails (500 kg – more on request), our stress screening cabinets can be adapted precisely to individual requirements. Sufficient cooling capacity is reliably available, even at temperatures of -55°C.
 
Insufficient test space? With the flexibly expandable test chamber extension, existing chambers can be easily adapted to new or larger test requirements.

Efficiency meets performance with the GreenMode

Our test chambers only delivery as much power as is actually required. The integrated GreenMode not only reduces energy consumption and electricity costs, but also minimises compressor wear and tear.
 
For large test room sizes, we take things one step further with GreenMode+: an additional, third compressor takes over when cooling requirements are low, e.g. during temperature runs – for maximum efficiency and a longer service life of the main compressors. This option is installed as standard in temperature chambers with test chamber volumes of 800 litres and more.
 
An investment in your future  and in your environment goals.
Taking a test chamber with a volume of 270 litres and 15 K/min at -5°C as an example, you can save up to 50 kWh (87 kWh with Greenmode instead of 137 kWh without Greenmode) of electricity within 24 hours and thus up to €400 in electricity costs per month.
