Chamber Structure
 
 | - Internal Chamber size: 750 W x 700 D x 700 H, mm
- Double-layer steel chamber for explosion containment
- Inside chamber: made of 1.5 mm thick cold-rolled SS304 with tensile strength > 500 Mpa

- Explosion containment window: 280 x 280 mm
- Double layer 5 mm thick explosion containing glass with double-sided shard holding the film to ensure broken glass can not fly out in the case of explosion
- 4“ Venting port and pressure release door are built in the back of the chamber (Pic. 4)
- Laser crosshair for visualizing crushing / penetrating center
- Battery Placement Area: 310 x 310 x 340 mm
- Max. Payload: 60Kg
- Lighting is built on top

Optional IR Grade Window
| - An additional IR (Infrared) Window for the 2.5-inch dia. IR lens (typical ZnSe, ZnS, Ge, etc) can be installed on the side of the chamber at an additional cost. The IR lens is ordered separately. Please contact us for more information
  |
Control Unit
| - 6" color touchscreen control panel for operating and setting parameters such as Crushing Force, Dwell Motion, Time, Crushing Deformation, and Voltage Change
- Deformation sensor accuracy: +/- 0.1mm
- Voltage sensor accuracy: +/- 1.0 mV
- Once the parameter is set on the touch screen, a wireless hand-held remote controller will operate the machine within 10 meters distance for safe operation
- Optional 1: Remote HMI operation panel by PC/Tablet via Ethernet/WiFi network is available upon request at an extra cost
- Optional 2: LabVIEW upgrade. MTI provides the slave program in PLC, the Ethernet communication module, and protocol instruction. Customers can write the master program in LabVIEW and achieves the system control and data logging for all testing parameters such as voltage drop, deformation%, force, speed, and position. MTI will provide limited or no support on LabVIEW programming
|
Venting  
| - The pressure-release doors built into the back of the machine will open in case of a battery explosion and release the pressure and smoke. (Pic 1)
- A 5.5-inch O.D. duct connector is in the back of the chamber for connecting to an exhaust system at the customer site. (Connecting tube and exhaust system are not included, Pic2), and keep venting gas from inside the chamber
- Warning: must keep venting during battery testing, in order to ensure chamber pressure does not go up just in case batteries explode.
- An in-line exhaust fan with a flex duct connection is recommended. (Click the pictures left to order)
