Rapid thermal shock chamber TS series

low-temperaturefor rapid temperature cyclingfor high temperatures

Overview
Designed to meet EN 60068-2-14, the TS Series Thermal Shock Chamber exposes samples to rapid transitions between extreme high and low temperatures to reveal chemical changes or physical damage caused by thermal expansion and contraction. Suitable for metals, plastics, rubber, electronics, and composite materials. The 3-zone design tests material structure or composites by exposing specimens to very high and very low temperatures in rapid sequence to evaluate thermal expansion/contraction effects.

Configurations

• Two-Chamber — Basket Transfer (Vertical Stack): Sample basket moves vertically between a hot chamber and a low chamber. Fast transfer time, short recovery per cycle, high cycle throughput; ideal for high-frequency cycling and batch testing. Features:
  • Fast transition between hot and cold zones
  • Short recovery time per cycle
  • High cycle throughput for production screening
  • Suitable for smaller DUTs and batch testing
• Single-Chamber — Static Sample (Airflow Switching): Hot/cold airflow switched rapidly within one chamber while the sample remains static. No mechanical movement on DUT; better for delicate or wired samples. Features:
  • Sample remains static during the test
  • No mechanical stress on DUT
  • Better for delicate or wired samples
  • RS-232 / RS-485 communication for data logging

Features

• Speed: ≤ 5 sec recovery, ≤ 5 min conversion (meets IEC/EN rapid profiles)
• Coverage: Three temperature grades to −65 °C; high-temperature option to +200 °C
• Cycling: Up to 999 cycles, 999 hours per step
• Control: Touch screen interface; RS-232 / RS-485 for data logging and automation
• Programmable cycling and automatic/manual shock modes
