What are the chamber and electrode dimensions of the AP-1000?
If you're designing fixtures or determining whether your product will fit inside an AP-1000 Plasma System, this guide outlines the internal chamber dimensions, electrode sizes, and usable working area.
What are the AP-1000 chamber dimensions?
The AP-1000 chamber measures:
| Dimension | Metric | Imperial |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 457 mm | 18 in |
| Depth | 610 mm | 24 in |
| Height | 457 mm | 18 in |
The total chamber volume is 127 liters (7,776 in³).
What are the dimensions of the power electrode?
The powered electrode provides a usable working surface of:
- 349 mm (13.74 in) wide
- 425 mm (16.73 in) long
What are the dimensions of the ground electrode?
The ground electrode measures:
- 407 mm (16.02 in) wide
- 425 mm (16.73 in) long
What is the usable working area of the ground electrode?
Although the ground electrode is 407 mm (16.02 in) wide, the mounting screws reduce the usable flat work area.
The maximum recommended working width is:
- 384 mm (15.1 in)
When designing fixtures or placing parts on the electrode, ensure they fit within this usable area to avoid interference with the mounting hardware.
