OTF1200XS5-ASDC 1200°C 5-Inch Atmosphere Controlled Automatic Tube Furnace with Integrated Quenching System
The OTF1200XS5-ASDC is engineered for laboratory applications requiring precise atmosphere control and rapid thermal processing of samples within a 5-inch diameter quartz tube. It enables automated heat treatment cycles combined with an integrated quenching function to rapidly cool samples using water, oil, or sand media. This furnace is ideal for workflows demanding controlled vacuum or inert gas environments and programmable temperature profiles with quenching capabilities.
The system integrates vacuum sealing, gas purging, heating, and quenching into a single automated process controllable via a laptop interface. Its motorized airtight flange and automatic chamber pressure regulation ensure a stable and controlled atmosphere from 1 to 200 kPa. The rotating quartz sample stage facilitates automatic transfer of samples into the quenching tank, enhancing process repeatability and efficiency.

대표적인 적용 분야
This furnace is suited for advanced materials research involving controlled atmosphere heat treatments such as sintering, annealing, and oxidation studies. Its integrated quenching system enables rapid cooling for phase transformation experiments and thermal shock testing. The programmable multi-segment temperature control supports complex thermal profiles needed in semiconductor, ceramics, and metallurgy laboratories.
구성 및 작동 안내
The furnace includes a rotary vacuum pump and water-cooled vacuum flanges; however, an external recirculating cooling water system is required and not supplied. An optional KJ5000 recirculating water chiller is available for labs lacking suitable cooling water. Users must provide an inert gas supply and compatible pressure regulator for atmosphere control.
The motorized flange and rotating sample stage enable automated sealing and quenching operations controlled via laptop software. Optional robotic integration can automate sample loading/unloading and enable multi-furnace operation from a single computer. Safety precautions include ensuring proper cooling water flow and verifying gas supply connections before operation.
