Quality is validated over time—SCICOOLING rotary table test chamber

In the clean laboratory of a company under China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, there is a piece of equipment: a high- and low-temperature dual-axis rotary table test chamber. Since its commissioning in November 2011, it has been used for over 50,000 hours, yet it still operates well, with all test indicators as precise as ever!

Speaking of this “treasure of the room,” laboratory technicians commented: Over 12 years, apart from routine maintenance and replacement of accessories, this dual-axis rotary table test chamber has had no other quality issues. As a domestic dual-axis continuously rotating rotary table supporting incubator, its ability to operate continuously for such a long time demonstrates commendable quality stability! The inner chamber volume of this equipment is 200L, with a temperature control range of -60°C~80°C, a temperature adjustment rate of 2°C/min, and a rotation angle of -180°~180°C; Using SCICOOLING’s innovative refrigeration technology, mechanical refrigeration is performed with only one compressor, with an installed power of only 6KW. Compared to traditional compressor stacking technology, this greatly reduces operating energy consumption, saves installation space, and reduces solder joints and accessories, resulting in greater stability.

Technical advantages of the SCICOOLING rotary table test chamber

In addition to its unique refrigeration technology, SCICOOLING was also one of the first domestic manufacturers to successfully apply rotary joints to the test chamber supporting the rotary table, changing the traditional practice of placing the entire rotary table inside the incubator. The rotary table does not require resistance to high and low temperatures, greatly reducing the configuration of refrigeration power. This technology has led the domestic industry trend. Currently, rotary joint rotary table test chambers have become mainstream equipment in their category, with stability and reliability surpassing foreign brand products. SCICOOLING has also iterated and developed the third-generation rotary joint, featuring a brand-new design and more robust and wear-resistant shaft material. The sealing ring has been changed to a star ring for long-lasting leakage-free performance, and the positioning platform ensures long-term coaxiality and stability. Samples have undergone millions of rounds of testing, and the product has now delivered and used over a hundred units.
