A new control rack is taken from our stock. This rack is the same control rack that we use for our new coating systems such as the WAVE800.
This rack is configured to suit individual requirements however the basic layout is fixed. Any interconnecting panels needed to make the system
and rack fit together neatly are made and fitted.
The control rack houses the system PC and screen, the high voltage power supplies, the electrical switchgear and in some cases where there is no room
underneath the chamber, we also have space for heater transformers, filament and thermal source transformers.
The rack, when bolted to the side of the system provides a clear pathway to the chamber base, allowing the high current cable route to be as short as possible.
The system configuration and electrical layout will have been agreed in advance and in parallel with the mechanical work happening to the chamber,
the new electrical switchgear and control components are installed into the electrical distribution section of the control rack.
The interconnecting wiring between the power supplies and system controls are connected and all outgoing supplies are connected to the sockets at the rear of the control rack.
When the control rack is rolled up to the side of the system it is bolted to the chamber frame,
the earth busbar is bolted along the chamber base and the interconnecting wires are laid out and neatly connected to the chamber components.
