Custom-designed and engineered to meet your specific requirements!
Why Abbess?
Abbess thermal vacuum systems are meticulously engineered to achieve Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) levels, even under typical gas loads from Devices Under Test (DUTs). At the heart of our Thermal Vacuum Control Technology is its capability to cater to a wide range of applications. Our expertise also extends to Thermal Control Units (TCUs) that utilize LN2 technology, providing simulation for extremely low temperatures relevant to geo-stationary orbits and beyond.
We are proud to offer turnkey solutions, with our chambers featuring a flexible and user-friendly control system. This system allows for manual control of all components while also supporting comprehensive test automation. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as redundant PLCs, touch screens, and robust hardware and software, we ensure enhanced safety, ease of use, speed, and productivity throughout the testing process—from initial setup to detailed reporting.
