Vacuum induction brazing machine
5 kW, max. 2 200 °F GH Induction Atmospheres

Designed for continuous 24-hour operation right on your manufacturing floor, our high vacuum systems are ideal for processes which require stringent vacuum (<5x10-5 torr) and/or high tempera-ture (up to 2200°F), such as the brazing of steel or nickel alloys with nickel.

The main control unit is an industry-standard PLC. An optional web server provides full monitoring and control through a standard web browser. Parts are heated in a fully enclosed, stainless steel chamber with a controlled, inert atmosphere. Quartz viewports provide access for infrared temperature sensing. For automatic loading and unloading, a gate valve and linear sled can be added to the system.

The chamber is mounted on a frame that houses all the required equipment for vacuum, atmospheric and system control, as well as the induction heating station. Real time monitoring and SPC are a snap with the RS232/485 interface, optional chart recorder and optical pyrometer; process conditions can be recorded and stored for each part.

Power supplies up to 5 kW can be located underneath the chamber; more powerful models (7.5 to 120 kW) can be positioned up to 70 feet away and connected with flexible cabling. The 10.4" touch-screen display (shown upper right) controls all aspects of the system and provides real-time feedback; the manual display (lower right) is used for process development and troubleshooting. A keyed switch located below the display screen provides access to the process development and troubleshooting interfaces.
