Atmosphere:                       

  • Rough vacuum operation
  • High vacuum operation
  • Partial pressure operation
  • Optional high-speed recirculating gas quench cooling

Features:

  • Standard one-year warranty.
  • This is a compact, packaged, and assembled unit.
  • Graphite hot zone.
  • Four-sided graphite heating elements for optimum temperature uniformity.
  • This unit can operate as either a vacuum hot press or a high temperature vacuum furnace. Removing the die pieces inside will allow the unit to operate as a conventional vacuum furnace.
  • Programmable closed-loop temperature/pressure control. This system will consist of a Yokogawa UP750 two-loop programmable temperature controller with 300 programs and 3,000 segments. The UP750 will control the temperature and the pressure on the hydraulic ram on the same timeline.
  • Upper ram is moveable with 6” stroke. Bottom ram is fixed.
  • Type “C” dual thermocouple. (Optional thermocouple retractor system.)
  • Mechanical vacuum pump. (Optional Roots blower.)
  • 6” Varian high-speed diffusion pump (15 cm).
  • Liquid nitrogen cold trap with digital temperature controller to minimize liquid nitrogen consumption.
  • Digital vacuum gauge.
  • Digital high limit safety controller.
  • We provide written operating procedures, complete detailed electrical schematics, and manuals for all instrumentation and controls on the furnace.
  • Includes one day of test fire and operator training at our plant in Terryville, Connecticut, USA.

Options:

  • 380 volts, 3 phase, 50 hertz.
  • 200-ton capacity (1779-kilonewton).
  • 2200o C operation (3992o F).
  • Thermocouple retractor system with Ircon Modline 5 optical pyrometer with a temperature range of 1000-3000o C (1832-5432o F).
  • Roots blower.
  • High-speed recirculating gas quench cooling.
  • Digital ram movement indicator with resolution to the nearest .001”.
  • 6-channel Yokogawa paperless datalogging chart recorder with digital communications. Network compatible – can appear as a node on a network, making remote data gathering fast and easy. It can be programmed to email alarms to you. Includes built-in memory card for storage.
  • Yokogawa Light Loader to facilitate uploading and downloading programs, configuration files, and auto-tuning parameters. This device clips on the face of the Yokogawa UP750 instrument and plugs into a USB port on a PC-based laptop or desktop computer, greatly facilitating and simplifying instrument configuration, program storage, and auto-tuning. Can be used for writing programs and storing detailed configuration data.
  • Remote diagnostics via a modem, enabling us to remotely aid in troubleshooting the furnace and guide your maintenance people directly.
