Services
Hydrogen Furnaces
Our hydrogen furnaces enable precise thermal processing in oxygen-free environments up to 2100C. Designed for applications requiring controlled reducing atmospheres, these systems offer rapid temperature ramping, programmable dewpoint control, and self-cleaning capabilities. Ideal for ceramic metalizing and brazing operations in semiconductor and aerospace industries.
Vacuum Furnaces
Vacuum furnace solutions capable of achieving 10-7 torr pressure levels at full temperature. Engineered for clean firing, active metal brazing, and ultra-pure annealing processes, these systems maintain thermal uniformity while supporting complex material interactions in ultra-low oxygen environments for advanced manufacturing applications.
Touchscreen Controllers
Modern PLC-based touchscreen interfaces standard on all furnace models since 2021. These proprietary control systems streamline process programming, improve operator accuracy, and feature data logging with timestamped event records accessible via integrated webserver functionality for enhanced process traceability and remote monitoring.
Custom Fixturing
Specialized high-temperature fixturing solutions for optimizing part loading and thermal conductivity. Available in molybdenum, tungsten, and technical ceramics, our modular fixture designs maximize work zone utilization while maintaining structural integrity during repeated thermal cycling in demanding production environments.
Furnace Refurbishment
Comprehensive refurbishment services for extending equipment lifecycle and modernizing legacy systems. Our technicians perform complete mechanical rebuilds, control system upgrades, and hot zone replacements to restore original performance specifications while integrating contemporary safety and efficiency enhancements across all furnace models.
