UHS6 6-Inch Ultrafast High-Temperature Sintering System with Robotic Arm and Glove Box Integration, Up to 2400°C
The UHS6 system is engineered to perform ultrafast sintering processes on samples up to 4 inches by 4 inches, addressing the need for rapid thermal treatment in controlled atmospheres. It is particularly suited for applications requiring high-temperature sintering with minimal exposure to oxygen and moisture, achieved by integrating the furnace within a glove box environment.
This system employs two independent 6″x6″ carbon felt heating elements, each with programmable temperature control and infrared sensors for precise temperature monitoring. The furnace can reach a maximum temperature of 2400°C in under 60 seconds, with heating rates exceeding 200°C per second. An automated robotic arm facilitates sample handling, enabling efficient loading and unloading without compromising the glove box atmosphere.
