BC-3 Vacuum Chamber Bakeout Controller

Total control of vacuum bakeout process

The BC-3 Vacuum Chamber Bakeout Controller provides total control of your vacuum chamber bakeout process. The BC-3 not only controls the power to the heat source, it also uses thermocouple feedback to regulate the temperature of the vacuum chamber. The vacuum interlock feature is a must-have for any ion-pumped chamber. If you are currently using a Variac to control heat tapes or an IR emitter, the BC-3 is a safe alternative.
