GSL-1200XS15-ASD Automated Tube Furnace with Robotic Sample Handling, 1200°C Max, Ø400 mm Quartz Tube for AI Material Research
The GSL-1200XS15-ASD is engineered to facilitate fully automated high-temperature sintering processes for research applications, particularly in AI materials development. It accommodates large-diameter quartz tubes (Ø400 mm) and achieves peak temperatures up to 1200°C for short durations, with continuous operation capability below 1100°C. This furnace integrates robotic assistance to automate sample loading, unloading, and process control, enabling high-throughput experimentation with minimal manual intervention.
The system’s PC-based software allows users to program complex thermal cycles with up to 50 temperature segments, including ramping, dwelling, and cooling phases. It supports vacuum generation, gas purging, and steady gas flow control, all coordinated with automated flange door operation. Multiple units can be managed simultaneously from a single PC, allowing continuous 24/7 operation and remote monitoring capabilities.
Wichtigste Merkmale
- Automated sample handling with optional robotic arm for loading and retrieval, supporting loads up to 5 kg with ±0.02 mm accuracy.
- Heating chamber with FeCrAl-Mo doped elements and K-type thermocouple, providing uniform temperature over a 120 mm zone at ±5°C.
