ABSTRACT:
An exchange system whereby a sample to be tested in a chamber, such as a vacuum chamber, may be entered and withdrawn with a minimum of loss of vacuum. The sample is mounted on a circular platen having six wedge shaped ramps in the periphery. A sample fork, in an anti-chamber that is connected to the chamber by a sealable door and can be maneuvered axially and rotationally about that axis, has three spring fingers that can be locked into the wedges to secure the platen. a sample dock, located in the main chamber, is axially aligned with the fork and has three fingers that engage the remaining three ramps when the platen enters the chamber. Rotation of the fork and the platen will cause the dock fingers to grasp the platen while the fork fingers release it, thereby transferring the platen into the chamber. Varied tests may then be performed under hot and cold vacuum conditions. Removal of the platen is done by reversing the procedure.
