Description

GCF1700 series controlled atmosphere furnaces feature a chamber with Mitsubishi (Japan) high quality alumina fiber insulation and MoSi2 heating elements. A double walled steel internal housing helps minimize heat loss to exterior surface. Furnace operation is controlled by Shimaden (Japan) 40-segment digital controller with built-in RS485 digital communications port and USB adaptor, allowing the user to connect to a PC for remote control and monitoring of the furnace. You can also save or export test results. All our furnaces are CE compliant. Features Multiple gas inlets and outlets with stainless steel ball valves. Flow meter to control inbound and outbound gas flows. Outlets can be ignited to burn off gas. Furnace chamber is welded and oil leak tested to ensure air tightness. Furnace door is sealed with high temperature silicon gasket. Built-in stainless steel water-cooling panel protects door sealing gasket when furnace is under heavy use. Microprocessor based self-tuning PID control provides optimum thermal process with minimal overshoot. Multiple atmosphere processes in a single cycle are possible (ex: binder burn out in air and parts sintering under rough vacuum or inert gas environment.) Built-in ammeter and dual voltmeters for easy monitoring and troubleshooting. Built-in computer interface. Long life type S thermocouple. Safety Overheat protection shuts down the furnace if temperature is outside of acceptable range (refer to controller's manual) or when the thermocouple is broken or malfunctions. Power failure protection resumes furnace operation right after the point of failure when power is reestablished.
