1-Zone 1400°C Tube Furnace with Alumina Tube and Sealing Flanges
This TF 1400 series tube furnace is made of the highest quality components, resulting in perfect results time and again. Mitsubishi alumina fiber insulation and SiC heating elements grace it’s interior, while a dual-wall steel internal housing alleviates any concern of heat escaping. Temperature control is provided by Japan’s Shimaden Corp. Its 40-segment digital controller is so precise, it can get you within +/- 1°C of your target temperature. A built-in RS485 digital communications port and USB adapter allows you to connect it to a PC for remote control or monitoring. You can even save or export test results.
With this amazing furnace, you can perform multiple atmosphere processes in a single cycle. A self-tuning PID control provides optimum thermal processing with minimal overshoot. It’s type S thermocouple ensures a long life, and a built-in ammeter and dual voltmeters allow for easy monitoring and troubleshooting. The furnace is lightweight and compact, making it easy to move and carry. Safety features include overheat and power failure protection. Note that this and all of our furnaces are CE compliant.
Features
- Compact, portable and lightweight design.
- Standard package includes set of stainless steel vacuum sealing flanges with valves and pressure meter.
- Microprocessor based self-tuning PID control provides optimum thermal process with minimal overshoot.
- Multiple atmosphere processes in a single cycle are possible (ex: binder burn out in air and parts sintering under rough vacuum or inert gas environment.)
- Built-in ammeter and dual voltmeters for easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
- Built-in computer interface.
- Long life type S thermocouple.
Safety
- Overheat protection shuts down the furnace if temperature is outside of acceptable range (refer to controller's manual) or when the thermocouple is broken or malfunctions.
- Power failure protection resumes furnace operation right after the point of failure when power is reestablished.
Warning! NEVER fill furnace with explosive gases, including Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide and Methane.
