Key Features
1. High-Efficiency Heating
-
Premium Heating Elements
Equipped with high-quality MoSi₂ (silicon molybdenum) heating rods that deliver fast heating rates and long service life, even under extreme high-temperature conditions. -
Precise Temperature Control
Uses an advanced PID temperature controller with multi-stage programmable settings. It ensures high temperature accuracy, excellent repeatability, and real-time thermal feedback. -
Uniform Temperature Distribution
Optimized furnace chamber design and strategic heating element layout ensure consistent temperature across the entire heating zone, preventing hot spots and cold zones. This guarantees uniform quenching results for all workpieces.
2. Accurate Atmosphere Control
-
Atmosphere Flexibility
The furnace is compatible with various process atmospheres including vacuum, inert gases (argon, nitrogen), and reducing gases (hydrogen). It supports customized atmosphere conditions based on different heat treatment requirements. -
Atmosphere Switching Function
Allows dynamic switching between different gas environments during the heating or cooling cycle to meet complex experimental or production needs.
3. Vertical Design Advantages
-
Space-Saving Configuration
The vertical design provides a compact footprint, making it ideal for laboratories and manufacturing environments with limited space. -
Convenient Loading & Unloading
Features a top or bottom loading port for easy and safe handling of components. Especially suitable for long or slender parts that are sensitive to distortion. -
Minimized Deformation Risk
Vertical orientation supports the weight of the sample along its axis, reducing the likelihood of deformation during high-temperature treatment—ideal for shafts, rods, and bar-shaped materials.
4. User-Friendly Operation
-
Touchscreen Control Panel
Integrated with an intuitive touchscreen interface that enables easy parameter setup, real-time data logging, and optional remote monitoring capabilities. -
Pre-Programmed Quenching Cycles
Comes with a library of customizable and pre-installed quenching programs, allowing users to quickly select or modify process recipes to match specific treatment goals. -
Low Maintenance Design
Durable construction, easy access to internal components, and self-diagnosis features simplify daily operation and reduce downtime.
