GSL-1200XS15-ASD Automated Tube Furnace with 1200°C Max Temperature and Robotic Sample Handling for AI Material Research
The GSL-1200XS15-ASD is engineered to facilitate automated sintering processes for advanced materials research, particularly suited for AI-driven material synthesis workflows. It accommodates quartz tubes with a diameter of 400 mm and length of 900 mm, providing a controlled environment for thermal treatments up to 1200°C for short durations and continuous operation below 1100°C.
This furnace integrates a PC-based control system that automates the entire sintering cycle, including sample loading and retrieval assisted by a robotic arm, vacuum generation, gas purging, and precise thermal cycling. The system supports multi-cycle operations and can manage multiple furnace units simultaneously, enabling continuous, unattended high-throughput processing with both local and remote control capabilities.
