KSL-1200X-M-AD Automated 1200°C Muffle Furnace with Motorized Door, 27L Chamber, PC-Controlled Multi-Furnace Operation
The KSL-1200X-M-AD is engineered for laboratories requiring precise and automated high-temperature sintering and heat treatment processes. Its 27-liter cubic chamber (300×300×300 mm) accommodates a variety of sample sizes, enabling efficient batch processing. This furnace is particularly suited for workflows demanding unattended operation with programmable temperature profiles and integrated door control.
Operating up to 1200°C for limited durations and continuously at 1100°C, the furnace employs a motorized door mechanism synchronized with a PC-based control system. This setup allows users to execute complete thermal cycles—including door closing, temperature ramping, soaking, cooling, and door opening—with a single command. The system supports simultaneous management of up to eight furnaces from one computer, facilitating scalable automation in material processing labs.
