Ideal Vacuum Cube, 6x12 Vacuum Chamber Glove-Box Adapter Plate and Hardware, 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy. Quick and Easy To Install. (Included Hardware showing in the Exploded View Pic). These Ideal Vacuum Cube 6x12 inch blank plates without flanged ports are designed to fit our 6x6x12 vacuum cubes. These blank plates are built with our patent pending taper seal technology which incorporates sloped sealing features to help prevent damage to the vacuum sealing surfaces. These Vacuum Cube plates are CNC milled from a single block of lightweight 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy. This is the sale of a Ideal Vacuum Cube 6x12 inch blank plate only as a Glove Box only. (other plates, frame, and hardware are required and sold separately). Ideal Vacuum Cube IntroductionOur Ideal Vacuum Cube is a modular high-vacuum chamber system, conceived to enable creativity and design flexibility in vacuum chamber system construction. Cubes can be stacked together into various shapes and configurations, with interchangeable plates offering a variety of features for connections, windows, and feedthroughs. Plates include 1/4"-20 mounting threads on a standard 1" optical pattern for easy connection of hinges, posts, mounts, lenses, polarizers, and other accessories. Durability and VersatilityThe large inner dimensions and open design of Ideal Vacuum Cubes makes them perfect for many vacuum chamber applications and experiments. Vacuum Cubes are constructed of lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, allowing them to be easily transported around the lab and mounted on optical tables (unlike heavy stainless steel vacuum chambers). A patent-pending seal protective design, stainless steel thread inserts, and powder-coated outside plate finish help make the Vacuum Cube a durable tool for even the most demanding use. Technical DetailsPatent-Pending Chamber SystemOur Ideal Vacuum Cubes have a patent pending design which features our Taper-Seal technology. Unlike other vacuum flange designs, such as, Conflat CF, KF/NW, or ISO-LF (large flange), which can be easily damaged when set on work surfaces, our Taper-Seal design protects critical sealing edges and o-rings from contact which can cause damage or contamination. Innovative Chamber Building BlocksIdeal Vacuum Cubes can easily be stacked together to build a complex, yet lightweight vacuum system (see graphic below). The outer edges of each vacuum cube feature hardware mounting sockets for easy cube-to-cube connections. A cube coupling kit includes the hardware needed to connect two cubes together. This allows scientists to creatively construct long or odd-shaped vacuum systems in a laboratory. Configurable Plates and AccessoriesThe Vacuum Cube can be configured with a wide variety of plates and windows with many options. A Vacuum Cube can be fitted feedthroughs for electrical power, thermocouple temperature measurements, optical lasers light or imaging detectors, gas supply, or fluid flow for heat/cooling recirculation lines. Compatible standard flange styles include KF-16, KF-25, KF-40, KF-50, ISO-63, along with conlfat CF 2.75, CF 3.375, and CF 4.5 inch flanged ports. Viewing windows are also available, and custom plates can be manufactured on request. An optional hinge kit can be ordered to convert any plate into an operable door. Applications for Ideal Vacuum CubesOur Ideal Vacuum Cubes are designed to implement well into optics laboratories for quick installation in laser research applications. The graphic below depicts an example laser spectroscopy laboratory setup, cavity ring down spectroscopy (CRDS) vacuum chamber system, using a 6x6x18 inch Ideal Vacuum Cube chamber. The modular design of our Ideal Vacuum Cubes make them suitable for many vacuum chamber applications: Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) Devices and Experiments Thermal Vacuum Testing Altitude Testing Vacuum Degassing Chamber High Power and Ultra Short Pulsed Lasers Research and Development Ion Acceleration RGA (Residual Gas Analyzers) Helium Leak Testing of Hermetic Sealed Devices With Welded In Helium Atmosphere Leak Detection Of Pharma Packaging Spectroscopy Molecular Ion Trap Cryostat Vacuum Chamber Beamlines Vacuum Cube Pumping Performance The pump down curves for several Ideal Vacuum Cube configurations are shown in the graphs below. A single 6x6x6 inch Cube can be pumped from atmosphere to 1x10-5 Torr in 2.5 minutes and below 1x10-6 Torr in around 15 minutes. (view curves graphic 1) close image This was accomplished using a 68 liters/second turbomolecular pump backed by a 110 liters/minute (3.3 cfm) dry scroll vacuum pump. We have also provided roughing pump down curves for popular Agilent Varian IDP-3 and SH-110 dry scroll pumps. The 6x6x6 Cube reaches base pressure of 300 mTorr for the IDP-3 (2.1 cfm) in less than 1 minute of pumping, and 50 mTorr for Agilent Varian SH-110 (3.3 cfm) in around 2 minutes. (view curves graphic 2) close image On special request we can offer fully anodized plates to help with absorption of scattered light in laser research and optical applications. Anodized components do not pump down as fast as bare aluminum metal surfaces. (view curves graphic 3) close image A single 6x6x6 with anodized plates required 1 hour of pumping to reach 1x10-5 Torr.

Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 in. Gate Valve Adapter Plate Kit ISO-F 63. 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. Another use for the gate valve adapter kit is to join two Cubes together in load lock applications. Two adapter kits are required, one on each side of the gate valve. When two cubes are joined with a gate valve between them, one Cube can be used as an antechamber to transfer materials from ambient atmosphere into the other which remains under vacuum. Similarly, when two Cubes of differing sizes are joined with a gate valve between them, the system can be used for explosive decompression testing. Here, the larger Cube decompresses the smaller Cube. It is best to use a pneumatic gate valve since it opens more rapidly than a manually operated one. Please download the gate valve adapter kit user manual for installation instructions. Features: 6" x 6" plate size Uncoated 6061-T6 aluminum Connects ISO-F 63 gate valve to 6 x 6 Cube face Shortest possible pumping path for maximum performance No extra tubing or fittings needed Hardware included Mounts in any orientation Directly mounts to frame size: 6 x 6 x 6 6 x 6 x 12 6 x 12 x 12 6 x 6 x 6 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 octagon

Ideal Vacuum Cube Conductance Limiting Coupler Kit Joins Two 6 x 6 in. Cube Frame Faces, Includes Hardware and Seals. This 6 x 6” Cube conductance limiting coupler kit allows two Cube frames to be tightly joined face-to-face on their 6 x 6” faces with a conductance-limiting orifice between them. A diagram of how to use this coupler is shown as the second image above. This kit consists of a 6061-T6 aluminum Cube conductance limiting frame coupler with two O-rings, several 304L stainless steel barrel type, coupling draw bolts, and the hardware and seal needed to mount a conductance limiting orifice insert plate. The frame coupler is sandwiched between the two Cube frames and acts just like a flange centering ring. The coupler makes the seal between the two Cube frames and uses the patented Ideal Vacuum Taper-Seal™ design. The draw bolts rigidly clamp the two Cube frames together. The frame coupler has a full orifice diameter of 2 inches. Restrictive inserts are available with orifices of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm diameter. These smaller orifices greatly restrict the flow of gas between the two coupled vacuum chambers. This coupler kit combined with an orifice plate allows two chambers to be held at different vacuum levels with a slow flow of gas between them. Due to the long path length of the orifice relative to the orifice diameter, the gas exits the lower pressure side as a tightly focused beam. Applications include calibration of precision valves and flowmeters, residual gas analysis, and molecular beam spectroscopy.
