4.2 Description of components
Heating chamber
The heating chamber is made of a high-quality ceramic material
evenly heated by four MoSi
2
heating elements.
Heat insulation
The heating chamber is surrounded by a ceramic insulating layer
on all sides.
Lift
The objects are lifted in and out of the heating chamber
automatically using on electric motor drive.
Heat controller
The heat controller ensures that the desired temperature is
achieved in the shortest possible time. The target temperature is
maintained with an accuracy of ± 3°C. A probe with a PtRh-Pt
thermocouple inside the heating chamber detects the chamber
temperature in the vicinity of the object. A thermocouple break
protection ensures that the furnace does not overheat in the case
of a faulty probe.
Operating parameters and heating programs are stored in non-
volatile memory and are retained even in the event of a power
failure.
Furnace housing
The furnace housing is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
The control panel and the housing have an additional internal and
external plastic coating (light grey, RAL 7035).
