"IR Series Concentrated Light Heating Furnace" Ultra-fast Heating and Cooling, Energy-saving, Compact

The "OCT-equipped heating observation furnace" is a compact design that utilizes a focused heating method and is an internal observation device equipped with OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography). Using this device, a research group from Yokohama National University and the Kanagawa Institute of Industrial Science and Technology successfully observed the internal structural changes of ceramics during sintering at high temperatures for the first time in the world.

The "IR Series" of concentrated heating furnaces manufactured by Yokokura Seisakusho, used by various research institutions around the world, supports various customizations. ▼ Features of the IR Series ▼ The rapid heating performance and superior temperature control, along with information from the observation port, significantly shorten heating experiment times and facilitate the screening of optimal heating conditions, contributing to improved efficiency in material development tasks. ▮ Rapid Heating and Cooling & Temperature Control Performance With a heating rate of approximately 50°C/sec using concentrated heating, rapid cooling is possible with the heating lamp turned off. The temperature control performance achieves a temperature control accuracy of ±1°C through high-speed PID control of the heating lamp volume in response to temperature programs. ▮ Compatibility with Various Atmospheres All furnaces adopt a vacuum chamber structure, allowing for gas replacement. They can accommodate heating under high vacuum, inert gas, reducing atmospheres, and humidity control atmospheres through bubbling. ▮ Easy Experimentation and Observation Compact and energy-efficient, they do not require a specific installation location. Due to the fast heating rate, there is no need to preheat the furnace, allowing experiments to be conducted whenever desired. ▼ Other Detailed Features ▼ - Real-time observation during heating - Clean * Please feel free to contact us for more details.
