Signatone S-1080 Thermal Controller

Calibrated precision is sustained with high performance, low noise power solutions

For more than 50 years Signatone has developed and manufactured thermal chuck systems to meet the ever-evolving demands and test criteria for you- our customers. Understanding the devices to be tested, mounted, and probed is key to designing a highly accurate, integrated thermal system.

With our engineering and production team working together, utilizing 3D drawings and our extensive in-house machine shop, Signatone has a great advantage in building, integrating, and testing our thermal probing solutions - all under one roof. This saves everyone time and money, alleviates miscommunication and results in faster deliveries and better system integration.

System Options – Accessories

Recirculation Chiller (TC-II)

Recirculation Chiller for use with Hot Chucks when House Water & Drain are not Available

Ultra-Low Refrigerated Circulator (FP89-HL)

A powerful circulating pump system and cooling capacity guarantees short cool-down times. The ACC “Active Cooling Control” provides active cooling control across the whole temperature range. The system is equipped with castors for easy transportation. Additionally, the system includes an improved insulation to help avoid ice-formation, and has a visual liquid level display.
