Temperature Forcing Systems
Precision temperature forcing systems (PTFS) are used for localized, hot and cold temperature testing of semiconductor, hybrid and other components or small assemblies. Applications in which tri-temperature automatic component handlers are either unavailable or inappropriate due to a low volume of test components are ideal candidates for use of these systems. Typical applications include research and development, product development, product engineering, quality assurance and production test. Thermonics' precision temperature forcing systems primarily use highly reliable, CFC-free, single-stage mechanical refrigeration. We also manufacture optional systems that use vortex technology or LN2. CE certification is available on most systems.
Our large suite of products are differentiated by their performance characteristics, sophistication of the user interface -the firmware - and the technique for integrating the thermal-controlled air to the device under test (DUT). This wide variety of performance and physical characteristics allows us to easily match a system to your specific test requirements.
The main product families are:
- T-2500: Our top-of-the-line, high-performance system is available in a variety
of configurations. The core product in this suite is the T-2500SE, which has
a temperature range of -90C to + 225C with a four-second transition time (+125C to -55C).
Modified units within this family, have different temperature ranges, flow rates and arm styles.
- T-2600: Represents our portable product offering which provides benchtop sized packaging.
These units are ideal for use in applications where traditional units would be impractical
due to weight and size constraints.
- T-2800: A mid-range product that offers a balance between feature sophistication and economy.
Unique to this family is the T-2800, which is self-contained and requires no external air compressor.
