STLC™ Sample Transfer System STLC™ Offers Unparalleled Flexibility The patented STLC sample transfer system provides researchers and experimenters with versatility not found in other sample handling systems. Samples can be transferred in-vacuum from chamber to chamber, across the laboratory, between facilities, and even around the world! STLC Basic Components: Sample Platens Sample Fork Sample Dock Sample Platens The sample platen is the key to the entire STLC system. It is the transferable plate that holds the specimen. The special turn-to-lock design was developed specifically for smooth and confident transfer of a sample among different chambers. Platens are available in a variety of configurations to allow flexibility and transferability among different vacuum chambers. STLC Sample Platen with Transferable Thermocouple Features Available from 1.33" to 6" O. D. sample platens. Easy, forgiving transfer operation. Fast, thermal response and greater extremes. Larger samples may be introduced through smaller I. D. plumbing. Wide range of sample sizes. Excellent sample plane repeatability. Adapts to most goniometers and precision gearboxes. Excellent performance for direct cooling. Transferable thermocouple, optional. Transferable intrinsic direct heating. /TTC Transferable Thermocouple Modifies STLCP sample platen and STLCD sample dock Allows thermocouples to be placed on sample face 1.3" O.

Transfer forks can be either axial or radial depending on the application. A complete line of linear and rotary feedthroughs are available to meet the most demanding specifications. STLCF-1/DUAL Radially-Mounted Sample Forks Holds two STLCP-1 sample platens 2 sample forks back-to-back 3 spring docking fingers Sample face parallel to axis of linear translator Mounts to linear feedthrough Price    Consult Factory STLCF-1/CAROUSEL Four Radially-Mounted Forks Holds three STLCP-1 sample platens 4 sample forks radially-mounted together Sample face parallel to axis of linear translator 3/8" mounting shaft Mounts to rotary feedthrough Stainless steel construction Price    Consult Factory Sample Dock The sample dock holds the platen within the vacuum chamber and provides electrical connections to the platen. The dock can be mounted on a variety of gearboxes depending on the degrees of movement and types of heating and cooling required. Ordering Information Sample O.D.
