Three-zone tube furnaces incorporate split-hinge design for easy process tube installation, fast cooling, and overall ease of operation
The heated chamber is divided into three independent power zones, each with its own thermocouple. When used with the recommended control console, a profile of ±1°C over the center 25.4–30.5cm (10–12") can be achieved. Can be mounted and operated horizontally or vertically without any modification. By using interchangeable tube adapters, the furnace will accept a variety of different sized process tubes. Electric heating modules of Moldatherm® ceramic fiber insulation and a light gauge overbend (LGO™) heating element improve uniformity and profile, heat-up, and element-to-work chamber heat transfer. Maximum temperature: 1200°C.
