Ideal Vacuum Cube Viewing Window Plate Assembly for 6x6 Vacuum Chamber 3/8" Tempered Glass. This Ideal Vacuum Cube 6x6 inch vacuum chamber standard, low-iron, tempered glass viewing window plate assembly is designed to fit our 6x6x6 or 6x6x12 modular Cube chambers. The standard tempered glass window viewing plate assembly is a popular Cube option, commonly used for general, direct observation of roughing or high-vacuum chamber processes and can be used to facilitate optical alignments of chamber components, observe degassing of fluids, or used to help teach in-vacuo processes by direct observation. The glass material is 3/8" thick, tempered, low-iron, high-clarity glass. Surface quality and flatness is Q4 per ASTM 1036-06 and 1048-04. The low iron content of the glass results in it having a slight blueish tint. This economical glass is unsuitable for high power laser experiments. We also offer high purity fused silica windows which are ground and polished to optical grade on both sides with a total thickness variation (TTV) of <10µm, a surface finish of S/D 40/20, and a surface roughness of Ra < 1 nm. These windows have appreciably improved transmittance, and a wider useful wavelength range than standard glass. Characteristics include extraordinarily low refractive index variations, low birefringence values, and an ultra-low thermal expansion coefficient. Fused silica is used for transmissive optics where a high laser damage threshold is required. Fused silica is used for optics operating in the deep UV, visible, and the near infrared wavelength range. Our Cube viewing windows employ an innovative, zero metal-to-glass contact design that holds the 3/8” thick window pane to an aluminum mounting plate. This cushioned window mounting system ensures operator safety and is less prone to leakage than other viewport window configurations, even at high vacuum pressures. Ideal Vacuum Cube windows are delivered fully assembled and use Viton O-rings and Teflon spacers. Bakeout temperatures to 150 °C are permissible. The viewing window plate assembly is interchangeable with other Cube plates and can be added to an Ideal Vacuum Cube system anytime. The viewing window can be implemented as a fixed side, or a door (with our optional hinge assembly and hardware kit, P106868) on the Cube chamber. The viewing window plate assembly, like all our other Cube plates, is built with our patented Taper-Seal technology which incorporates sloped sealing features to help prevent damage to the vacuum sealing surfaces. All Ideal Vacuum Cube plates are CNC milled from a single block of lightweight 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy. Before it ships, every viewing window plate assembly is visually inspected for window media imperfections, helium leak tested, cleaned and sealed, ensuring that it operates correctly, safely, and is ready for immediate installation upon delivery. NOTE: All viewing windows or viewports are inherently fragile, should be handled carefully, and always inspected before use. Ideal Vacuum viewing windows are designed and rated for VACUUM ONLY and can be susceptible to thermal shock if exposed to rapid temperature changes (>10° C /min). If directing a laser beam through the window, make sure the laser’s wavelength can be reasonably transmitted through the window’s material.

Ideal Vacuum Cube Viewing Window Plate Assembly for 6x6 Vacuum Chamber 3/8" Fused Quartz. This Ideal Vacuum Cube 6x6 inch vacuum chamber fused quartz viewing window plate assembly is designed to fit our 6x6x6 or 6x6x12 modular Cube chambers. The fused quartz window viewing plate assembly is often selected for experiments where improved optical clarity, extended wavelength transmissivity is required beyond the visible range, and where cost is a factor. Our fused quartz windows are manufactured with the highest quality natural quartz resulting in the highest levels of purity and lowest inclusion and bubble levels. Comparable to Heraeus TSC-3, these windows have improved transmittance, and a wider useful wavelength range than standard glass. Characteristics include low refractive index variations and low thermal expansion coefficient. Fused quartz is used for semiconductor applications such as plasma etch and deposition systems and recommended when low alkali and low aluminum content are specified. It is often used for transmissive optics in the visible and near-to-mid infrared wavelengths where a high laser damage threshold is required. Fused quartz has absorbtion bands in the 2600 to 2900 nm region, similar to fused silica but not as strong. It is unsuitable for UV work due to absorbtion in the 270 nm region. Note that fused quartz stock is limited as Ideal Vacuum is transitioning to fused silica as its premium window offering. Also note that fused quartz windows may be erroneously labeled with fused silica part numbers. You may verify your window material by checking your sales invoice. We also offer Cube window plate assemblies and replacement window panes with standard low-iron tempered glass or fused silica. Tempered glass is commonly used for general, direct observation of roughing or high-vacuum chamber processes and can be used to facilitate optical alignments of chamber components, observe degassing of fluids, or used to help teach in-vacuo processes by direct observation. The glass material is standard low-iron float glass. Surface quality and flatness is Q4 per ASTM 1036-06 and 1048-04. The low iron content of the glass results in it having a slight blueish tint.

We will provide an RMA and return shipping label for you to send us your old viewing window plate assembly. Once we receive the old plate assembly, we will send you a complete, fully tested, updated assembly. Old plate assemblies will not be returned. NOTE: All viewing windows or viewports are inherently fragile, should be handled carefully, and always inspected before use. Ideal Vacuum viewing windows are designed and rated for VACUUM ONLY and can be susceptible to thermal shock if exposed to rapid temperature changes (>10° C /min). If directing a laser beam through the window, make sure the laser’s wavelength can be reasonably transmitted through the window’s material. Please download and read all the safety warnings in the IVP Cube Viewing Window Assembly Manual.

Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 Thermal Vacuum TVAC Chamber Plate for Liquid Nitrogen LN2 Cryogenic Testing and High Vacuum Trap. This is an Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 inch TVAC plate for cryogenic testing and for trapping condensable gas vapors under high vacuum such as water and solvents that outgas from components inside the vacuum. Without appropriate trapping, condensable vapors can intrude into the mechanical pump, limiting the ultimate base pressure of the pump to unacceptably high levels. This TVAC plate produces lower base pressures and faster pump down cycles. This plate may be operated at temperatures as low as -200°C (-328°F) The plate is mounted to the top of the Cube with the LN2 fill port oriented vertically. Once under vacuum, liquid nitrogen is poured into the fill port and enters the plate’s 0.14 liter internal fluid reservoir. The reservoir is made of 304L stainless steel and has an optical breadboard on the vacuum side with a 3.0" x 3.0" temperature-controlled area. It is designed to occupy minimal volume within the Cube. The reservoir is thermally isolated from the blue powder coated 6061-T6 aluminum mounting plate and allows the plate to be operated to -200°C (-328°F) without compromising vacuum seal integrity. Because the LN2 continuously evaporates through the open fill port, it requires about 1 liter of LN2 to cool the vacuum side of the plate to minimal temperature. Features: 6" x 6" plate size Blue powder coated 6061-T6 aluminum plate 304L stainless steel reservoir and fill port Operating temperature to -196°C (-321°F) Stainless steel vacuum isolated 3.0" x 3.0" temperature-controlled core Internal optical breadboard Mounts horizontally on top of chamber only Directly mounts to frame size: 6 x 6 x 6 6 x 6 x 12 6 x 6 x 6 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 octagon This plate can also be mounted on any 9x9 or 12x12 plate with a plate adapter kit.

Ideal Vacuum Cube, 6 x 6 inch Thermal Vacuum Chamber Plate For Circulating Hot or Cold Fluids. This is a thermally isolated Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 inch TVAC plate with 1/4” OD vacuum isolated fluid tubes. This plate allows the vacuum side of the plate to be thermally controlled by circulating hot or cold fluids, including LN2 through its stainless steel tubes and internal channels. The operating temperature range of this plate is 200°C to -200°C (392°F to -328°F). This Cube plate allows the Ideal Vacuum Cube to be used as a thermal vacuum or thermal shock vacuum chamber. It can also function as a chilled trap for chemical and high boiling point liquids. Multiple TVAC plates may be mounted to a Cube and plumbed together to enhance temperature control capability. Fluid is commonly supplied by a recirculating heater or chiller such as those made by Thermo Scientific, Neslab, and Huber. Insulated supply and return hoses connect the heater/chiller system to the thermal plate with 1/4" OD tube fittings. The core of the plate is made of 304L stainless steel and has an optical breadboard on the vacuum side with a 3.0" x 3.0" temperature-controlled area. The plate’s thermally isolated core allows it to be operated between 200°C to -200°C (392°F to -328°F) without compromising vacuum seal integrity. The plate is designed to occupy minimal volume within the Cube envelope and may be mounted in any orientation. Features: 6" x 6" plate size Blue powder coated 6061-T6 aluminum plate 1/4” OD stainless steel supply and return tubes Operating temperature range 200°C to -200°C (392°F to -328°F) Stainless steel vacuum isolated3.0 x 3.0" temperature-controlled core 3.0" x 3.0" temperature-controlled core Internal optical breadboard Mounts in any orientation Directly mounts to frame size: 6 x 6 x 6 6 x 6 x 12 6 x 6 x 6 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 octagon This plate can also be mounted on any 9x9 or 12x12 plate with a plate adapter kit.

Ideal Vacuum Cube, 6 x 6 inch Non-Thermally Isolated Chamber Plate For Circulating Hot or Cold Fluids. This is a non-thermally isolated Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 inch TVAC plate with 3/8” OD fluid tubes. This plate allows the vacuum side of the plate to be thermally controlled by circulating hot or cold fluids through its stainless steel tubes and internal cavity. The operating range of this plate is 150°C to -26°C (302°F to -15°F). This thermal vacuum Cube plate allows the Ideal Vacuum Cube to be used as a thermal vacuum or thermal shock vacuum chamber. It can also function as a chilled trap for chemical and high boiling point liquids. Multiple TVAC plates may be mounted to a Cube and plumbed together to enhance temperature control capability. Fluid is commonly supplied by a recirculating heater or chiller such as those made by Thermo Scientific, Neslab, and Huber. Insulated supply and return hoses connect the heater/chiller system to the thermal plate with 3/8" OD tube fittings. The plate’s core is made of 304L stainless steel and has an optical breadboard on the vacuum side with a 3.0" x 3.0" temperature-controlled area. Because the thermal cavity is not thermally isolated from the rest of the plate, operating temperatures are limited to that of the plate’s Viton O-ring vacuum seal. The plate is designed to occupy minimal volume within the Cube envelope and may be mounted in any orientation. Features: 6" x 6" plate size Blue powder coated 6061-T6 aluminum plate 3/8” OD stainless steel supply and return tubes Operating temperature range 150°C to -26°C (302°F to -15°F) 3.0" x 3.0" temperature-controlled core Internal optical breadboard Mounts in any orientation Directly mounts to frame size: 6 x 6 x 6 6 x 6 x 12 6 x 6 x 6 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 hexagon 6 x 6 x 12 octagon This plate can also be mounted on any 9x9 or 12x12 plate with a plate adapter kit.

Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 TVAC Thermal Vacuum Chamber Heater Plate for up to 140 Degrees C. This Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 inch heater plate will safely provide up to 140°C of uniformly distributed heat to the vacuum side of the plate surface, through a 120VAC 160W heating element. This thermal vacuum plate expands the capabilities of the Ideal Vacuum Cube whereby the Cube can be used as a Thermal Vacuum Chamber (TVAC). Applications include thermal stability testing, surface coating and implantation, and damage testing under thermal load. Thermal Vacuum Chambers are often used to replicate or simulate the extreme conditions of outer space and are frequently employed in the testing of spacecraft and aerospace parts or components under a simulated space environment, and control outgassing for a giving process. Please note that the maximum allowable temperature using Viton O-rings is 150°C. This heater plate has an integrated Type-K thermocouple, and works directly with our single zone PID Plug & Play Heater Control System, which is designed to accurately measure and control the temperature of our Cube heater plates. When a single Cube heater plate is used, and once the system has reached thermal equilibrium, the rest of the chamber will be approximately 10°C less than the heated plate itself. Multiple heater plates may be used (up to the heater control system’s maximum power load) to help eliminate this temperature differential. These Vacuum Cube heater plates are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and powder coated red. The vacuum chamber side (back) of these heater plates have an optical breadboard for fixtures and test components. Temperature gradients due to conductive losses through the heater plate edges are kept to a minimum with integrated, machined stand-offs that minimize the contact surface between the plate and the Vacuum Cube frame. An aluminum anodized shield on the air side of the heater plate helps control convective losses due to ambient conditions (and helps protect users from direct contact with the heated plate). As the plots below demonstrate, ramp-up time and maximum plate temperature is dependent upon the heater control system, number of heater plates, ambient operating conditions, and whether the vacuum cube is insulated. Features: 6 x 6 plate 6061-T6 aluminum Red powdercoat Heats to 140°C, 120 VAC, 160W Anodized shield helps control convective losses and protect users from direct heater contact Internal optical breadboard Mounts in any orientation Works with PID heater control system P107361 Directly mounts to frame size: 6x6x6 6x6x12 6x6x6 hexagon 6x6x12 hexagon 6x6x12 octagon This plate can also be mounted on any 9x9 or 12x12 plate with a plate adapter kit.

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.
