The Sigma Systems M50M is a thermal chamber for environmental testing across demanding temperature ranges. It delivers precise temperature control from -40°C to +200°C, with extended-range options reaching +500°C or -185°C. The chamber accommodates multiple cooling and heating methods—cryogenic gas (LN2, LCO2), mechanical refrigeration (R-404A or R-507), or electric heating elements—plus optional air cooling via ambient exchange. A TS Series Controller with touch-screen interface provides real-time graphing, dual control modes (system and DUT), and comprehensive diagnostics logging including valve counts and equipment runtimes. The M50M supports rack mounting in standard 19″ or 24″ configurations and offers flexible DUT access through apertures, ports, and notches sized 1.25″ to 4″ I.D., with thermally resistant foam plugs minimizing parasitic heat transfer.
