Chamber and Hot Zone
The chamber is loaded from the front and contains a hot zone measuring 6″ W x 8″ H x 10″ D and a +/- 10°C temperature gradient. The heating element is comprised of 4 tungsten mesh panels, heating 4 sides of the load, and feature excellent uniformity and longevity. The hot zone shields are mounted in a chamber frame, allowing for the thermal growth of the zone during heat cycling.
The furnace chamber is manufactured from double-walled stainless steel welded together and polished for a clean finish and good vacuum integrity.
