- Item #: TF1500
This TF1500 series tube furnace is constructed from the finest components, helping you take your application to the next level. Inside, high-quality Mitsubishi alumina fiber insulation surrounds SiC heating elements. The heat they create is contained by a dual-wall steel internal housing, which minimizes heat loss. Precise temperature control is provided by a Japanese Shimaden 30-segment digital controller, keeping your application within +/- 1°C of your target temperature. The furnace comes with a built-in RS485 digital communications port and USB adapter. If you want to monitor or control it remotely, simply hook it up to your PC. You can even export or save your test results.
Self-tuning PID control allows for an optimized thermal process with little to no overshoot. Multiple atmosphere processes are possible within a single cycle, with this furnace. A built-in ammeter and dual voltmeters provide easy monitoring and troubleshooting, while it’s type S thermocouple ensures the unit’s longevity. This furnace is portable, compact, and lightweight, for easy portability. Safety features include overheat and power failure protection. 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.
