KSL1700XMGI8AD 1700°C Max 8-Chamber Box Furnace with Automated Doors and Independent Temperature Control for High-Throughput Heat Treatment
The KSL1700XMGI8AD is designed for laboratories requiring simultaneous heat treatment of multiple samples under precisely controlled conditions. This system integrates eight compact box furnaces, each measuring 120 x 120 x 120 mm, allowing independent temperature control up to 1700°C. This configuration supports high-throughput workflows such as new material discovery and advanced thermal processing where different samples require distinct temperature profiles.
Each chamber features an automated door mechanism controlled via a touchscreen panel, enabling programmed opening and closing sequences for efficient sample loading and unloading. When paired with an optional robotic arm and sample tray station, the furnace system can operate autonomously 24/7, minimizing manual intervention and improving process consistency.

Configuration & Operating Notes
- An optional robotic arm and sample tray station can be integrated for fully autonomous operation.
- Users should avoid using flammable, explosive, or toxic gases with this equipment; the manufacturer disclaims responsibility for issues arising from such use.
- The furnace requires a dedicated power source within ±8% voltage variation and should be isolated from equipment generating strong magnetic fields.
- Keep the furnace away from areas prone to liquid splashes and magnetic or conductive powders.
- Normal wear includes insulation cracks and heating element degradation; replacement or repair should be done as needed.
- Temperature fluctuations may occur below 300°C operation.
- Do not open furnace doors when chamber temperature exceeds 500°C to avoid hazards.
Compliance
- CE certified
- NRTL certification available at additional cost
