Vacuum Chamber Camera

Overview

Crystalspace Vacuum Chamber Camera (VCC) is designed for monitoring vacuum chamber processes from the inside. The fully immersible VCC is based on the nanosatellite camera systems and thus inherits space rigidness. The VCC is developed in cooperation with ESA.

The VCC combines best of the space technology and modern day easy to use industrial applications requirements.

Concept

CrystalSpace has taken a step forward in cooperation with ESA BIC Estonia and brought space technology down back to Earth. CrystalSpace has developed miniature portable vacuum chamber camera that is easy to set up and operate. We take away the pain from vacuum chambers operators helping them to monitor processes with an ease as never experienced before!

The new miniature portable vacuum chamber camera designs are based on the successful CrystalSpace CAM1U
