Environmental, Climatic & Temperature Humidity Test Chambers

Innovation Rooted in Engineering Depth

The Reach-in Environmental test Chambers represents CME’s technology first approach to environmental testing, combining proven thermal performance with digital intelligence, reliability, and scalability.

Designed for Real-World Environmental Simulation

Modern products are exposed to a wide range of environmental stresses during their lifecycle, temperature extremes, humidity variation, thermal cycling, and long-duration exposure.

Chambers are engineered to accurately replicate these conditions, enabling engineers to validate performance, durability, and reliability with confidence.

High-Performance Temperature & Humidity Control

Chambers deliver stable temperature and humidity control across the operating range, with excellent uniformity and fast recovery after door openings or load changes.

Optimized airflow design and robust refrigeration systems ensure repeatable results for both steady-state and cyclic testing.

Digital Intelligence with enviCoM® 4.0

All Chambers are powered by enviCoM® 4.0,

CME’s proprietary digital control and IoT platform.
The platform enables real-time monitoring, secure data logging, automated reporting, remote access, and seamless integration with facility-level systems.

Data-Driven Environmental Testing

High-resolution environmental data generated by Chambers enables advanced analytics such as stability tracking, drift detection, energy usage insights, and predictive maintenance.

Configured to Your Test Requirements

Chambers are available in multiple sizes and configurations, with options for temperature range, humidity control, instrumentation, feedthroughs, shelving, and control integration.

CME’s Mass Customization Framework ensures customized configurations are delivered with the reliability and predictability of standard products.
