Comdel Provides Cost Effective Solution for Matching to a Wide Range of Process Loads  Gloucester,
Massachusetts, March 30, 2009 - Comdel, Inc., trusted supplier
of RF and DC power, announces the CPMX1000, the newest addition to their
extensive line of automatic impedance matching networks. Capable of
handling RF currents of 20 Amps, this new match is the ideal solution
for matching to a wide range of process loads. Designed with air variable
capacitors, this match provides a cost effective alternative for power
applications up to 1250 watts. The CPMX1000 can be used as a stand-alone
unit or controlled remotely using the CMPX Remote controller. DeviceNET
as well as standard RS-232 and analog control are options in the remote
controller.The CPMX1000 system is engineered with Comdel's unique PROTRAK, a high-speed tuning algorithm that gradually slows the system as it approaches the tuning point, allowing a precise match even in high "Q" loads. This proportional control circuitry illustrates the critical difference between Comdel's Match Pro and other matching networks. The Match Pro adjusts input impedance to 50 Ohms quickly, accurately and dependably--in response to the changes in load characteristics during your process. The CPMX1000 is configured to operate at fixed frequencies from 2 to 27.12 MHz and features automatic and manual modes with local and remote manual control of tuning capacitors, and the ability to preposition capacitors to the optimal plasma ignition point prior to turn on, resulting in quick and reliable tuning. Specifications: Frequency range: Configured to operate at fixed frequencies from 2 to 27.12 MHz RF Power Range: 25 W- 1250 W RF Output Current: 20 A Max. Line input: 100-240 VAC; single phase; 50/60 Hz; or 24 VDC VSWR: Typically less than 1.5 to 1 in a 50-Ohm system Cooling: Forced air cooling. Operating ambient temperature range is -10 to +35° C Mounting: The Match Pro unit must be mounted close to the chamber for optimum performance. Custom mounting configurations can be accommodated. Size: 5.5"H x 10"W x 15"D (138 mm x 254 mm x 375 mm) Weight: 12 lbs (5.5 kg) Options: CPMX Remote with RS-232 interface, analog, or DeviceNET control. About Comdel, Inc.
