KSL1700XMGI8AD Automated Dual Bottom-Loading Furnace System in Dual-Chamber Glovebox with Robotic Sample Handling, 500°C to 1700°C
KSL1700XMGI8AD is designed for precise and automated heat treatment workflows requiring controlled atmospheres and high-temperature processing. This system integrates two bottom-loading muffle furnaces within a dual-chamber glovebox environment, enabling sintering and thermal processing of sensitive samples without exposure to ambient air. The glovebox maintains oxygen and moisture levels below 1 ppm, ensuring sample integrity during high-temperature operations up to 1700°C.
The system includes a robotic arm that autonomously transfers samples between the glovebox and furnaces, executing programmed sintering cycles with high repeatability and minimal operator intervention. This automation supports complex thermal profiles and enhances throughput while maintaining stringent environmental controls. The glovebox is equipped with a water-cooled gas filter to stabilize internal temperatures and an optional air conditioning system to keep the interior below 30°C, optimizing operational stability.
