Typical Applications
The VDE-HT1000 is ideal for research and development of thermo-electric materials requiring precise extrusion with controlled temperature and force. It supports both cold and hot extrusion processes, making it suitable for producing samples with variable diameters for material characterization and device prototyping.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The extrusion press includes a separate control box with a touch screen interface for easy adjustment of extrusion parameters. Heating can be provided by a resistance jacket or optionally by induction heating for faster temperature ramp-up. Users should consider the trade-off between heating speed and cost when selecting the heating option. For air-sensitive materials, a vacuum chamber can be added at extra cost to prevent oxidation during extrusion.
