Inheco ThermoShake

The Inheco ThermoShake is a combined heater-cooler-shaker.

All variants share the same serial firmware and are controlled through an Inheco TEC Control Box via HID.

Model	PLR Name	Cat. No.	Shaking (rpm)	Footprint (mm)	Status
ThermoShake RM	inheco_thermoshake_rm	7100144	100–2000	147 x 104 x 116	PLR-tested
ThermoShake	inheco_thermoshake	7100146	100–2000	147 x 104 x 118	PLR-untested
ThermoShake AC	inheco_thermoshake_ac	7100160/61	300–3000	147 x 104 x 115.9	PLR-untested

See the ThermoShake user manual for hardware setup. Connect the ThermoShake to an Inheco TEC Control Box via HID (install pip install pylabrobot[hid]).

Setup

from pylabrobot.inheco import InhecoTECControlBox, inheco_thermoshake

control_box = InhecoTECControlBox()
await control_box.setup()

ts = inheco_thermoshake(name="ts", control_box=control_box, index=1)

The index parameter selects which slot on the TEC Control Box the ThermoShake is connected to (1–8). If you have multiple Inheco devices on the same control box, give each a unique index.

Multiple devices

When using multiple Inheco devices on one control box, create each with a unique index:

ts1 = inheco_thermoshake(name="ts1", control_box=control_box, index=1)
ts2 = inheco_thermoshake(name="ts2", control_box=control_box, index=2)

Teardown

await control_box.stop()
