GSL1200XS6ASD Automated 6-Inch Quartz Tube Furnace for AI-Driven Material Research up to 1100°C
The GSL1200XS6ASD is engineered to facilitate advanced materials research by automating complex thermal processing sequences within a 6-inch outer diameter quartz tube. It is particularly suited for AI-assisted workflows requiring precise control over atmosphere, temperature, and sample handling to accelerate novel material discovery.
This tube furnace integrates automated pump-purge cycles, steady gas flow regulation, vacuum control, and programmable heating and cooling stages. Sample loading and retrieval are streamlined via a motorized sliding flange and can be assisted by an optional robotic arm, enabling continuous 24/7 operation. Remote PC control and data logging capabilities support up to eight linked furnaces for scalable research setups.
Wichtigste Merkmale
