Ideal Vacuum Cube Package, 6x6x6 inch Cube, Edwards E2M1.5 Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump & Fittings Ideal Vacuum Cube Package, Includes Hardware and Seals, Quick and Easy To Install These Ideal Vacuum Cube Packages are complete with 6x6x6 inch Vacuum Cube, an Edwards E2M1.5 dry scroll vacuum pump, & Fittings. The E2M1.5 has a base pressure of 1.0 mTorr and a pumping speed of 1.6 cfm. This Vacuum Cube package also includes a metal bellows roughing hose & hardware needed to connect the E2M1.5 vacuum pump to the vacuum chamber, two plates ported for KF-25, and four standard blank plates. Our Vacuum Cubes are made from lightweight 6061-T6 alloy aluminum with Viton o-ring seals, have a low ultimate base vacuum pressure of 10-8 Torr, and include the following items: Ideal Vacuum Cube 6x6x6 Components Qty 1 each, P106861, 6x6x6 Vacuum Cube Frame, lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum alloy Qty 4 each, P106862, 6x6 Vacuum Cube Plate, Blank Qty 2 each, P106865, 6x6 Vacuum Cube Plate With NW-25 Port Qty 1 each, P107293, Hardware Kit for Ideal Vacuum Cube 6x6 Plates, O-rings and Bolts Qty 2 each, P101243, Centering Ring KF-25 Vacuum Fittings, NW-25, Stainless Steel & Viton O-ring Qty 1 each, P101203, Blank Flange KF-25 Vacuum Fittings, ISO-KF Flange Size NW-25, Stainless Steel Qty 2 each, P104599, Bulkhead Clamp, Flange KF-25 Vacuum Fittings, NW-25, Aluminum Qty 1 each, P107297, Rubber Foot Kit for Ideal Vacuum Cubes Also Includes Roughing Line Accessories Qty 1 each, P101227, Reducer Conical KF-16 to KF-25 Vacuum Fitting Qty 1 each, P103703, Bellows Hose Metal KF-16, 40 Inch, Thin Wall Tubing Qty 1 each, P101242, Centering Ring KF-16 Vacuum Fittings, Viton Qty 2 each, P102581, Quick Clamp with Ratchet Closure, KF16 NW-16 Qty 1 each, P101246, Centering Ring Adaptive KF10 to KF16 Vacuum Fittings Also Includes Edwards E2M1.5 Rotary Vane Rouging Pump and Pressure Gauges Qty 1 each, P101924, NEW Edwards E2M1.5 Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump, 115 VAC Ideal Vacuum Cube Introduction Our 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 Versatility The 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 Details Patent-Pending Chamber System Our 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 Blocks Ideal 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 Accessories The 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 Cubes Our 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.
