KSL-AM-GB2 Automated Dual Furnace System with Dual-Chamber Glovebox, 500°C to 1700°C, Integrated Robotic Sample Handling
The KSL-AM-GB2 addresses the need for precise, automated heat treatment of sensitive materials under rigorously controlled atmospheres. It combines two bottom-loading muffle furnaces housed within a dual-chamber glovebox that maintains oxygen and moisture levels below 1 ppm, critical for processing air-sensitive samples. This setup enables researchers to conduct sintering and thermal treatments without exposure to ambient air contaminants.
Samples are introduced into the glovebox where a robotic arm autonomously transfers them into the furnaces, executes programmed thermal cycles, and retrieves them upon completion. The system supports operating temperatures from 500°C up to 1700°C, with temperature control accuracy of ±1°C, and an optional upgrade to ±0.1°C for enhanced precision. The glovebox environment is further stabilized by a water-cooled gas filter and optional air conditioning to maintain internal temperatures below 30°C.
