A computer controlled, Vacuum insulated environmental chamber capable of executing complex time-temperature prescriptions in the temperature range of –300 F to +300 F, provide the capability to:

• Perform Cryogenic processing to enhance the wear resistance of steel and cemented carbide, chromium or TiN coated tools and wear parts, and copper resistance welding electrodes;
• Dimensionally stabilize metal optics and precision ground parts prior to final polishing / Grinding to produce a superior surface finish;
• Stress relieves metals for tear free drawing and enhanced acoustic characteristics.

The CP-500 vi cryoprocessor is capable of automatically cycling payloads between the temperature limits of –300 F and +300 F. Payload temperature is reduced by cooling an internal heat exchanger with a controlled flow of liquid nitrogen, while a blower circulates dry gaseous nitrogen between the payload and the heat exchanger to minimize temperature gradients.
