How Much Does CBX-3000S Cost in 2026?

In 2026, used CBX-3000S units range from $5,000–$8,000, while certified refurbished models with <10,000 RF-hours command $10,000–$12,000. New OEM units (2026 list price) exceed $25,000, making used/refurbished options 50–70% cheaper. Units with >40,000 RF-hours often show degraded output stability and require capacitor replacements. Refurbished units include replaced IGBT modules, cooling fans, and firmware upgrades to v3.2. Prices vary by region and RF-hour count—request recent teardown reports for accurate valuations. Avoid units with unverified service histories; 2026 market trends show stable demand but limited supply.

CBX-3000S Specifications and Compatible Tools

Key specs: 3kW peak power, 13.56MHz frequency, 208–480V AC input, 50–100% duty cycle. Cooling: air-cooled with 2x 120mm fans. Dimensions: 19" rackmount (1U), 35 lbs. Compatible with:

Applied Materials 5500/6500 PECVD (1997–2005)
Varian Discover PVD systems (1999–2006)
Plasma Therm 790 Etch Tools (pre-2003)
Warning: Do not install in systems requiring >15kW or 27.12MHz (e.g., Lam 2300 Series). Check for Comdel part #CBX-3000S-FCB frequency board compatibility. Legacy systems using 13.56MHz RF match this generator’s output curve, but newer tools with digital modulation may require firmware patches.

What to Check Before Buying a Used CBX-3000S in 2026

RF Output Test: Use a Narda 898 Power Meter. At 3kW, output must be ≥2940W (±2%) for 60 seconds. Units below 2850W likely have failing IGBTs.
Capacitor Health: Inspect C101–C104 (10µF 450VDC). Bulging, leakage, or ESR >0.2Ω mandates replacement.
Cooling System: Measure fan RPM with a laser tachometer. <12,0
