Used ASM SP 32 #293758590 for sale

ASM SP 32 is a diffusion furnace specifically designed for the thermal processing of substrates in a low-pressure environment. It features a thermally insulated and water-cooled tungsten hearth, which creates an extremely uniform temperature distribution throughout the processing chamber. This is achieved by the uniform distribution of the air which is passed through the hearth by a series of air nozzles. The furnace is capable of reducing the operating pressure to a few millibars or even microbars which makes it ideal for processes such as annealing, metallization, or diffusion. The heated substrate is placed in the processing chamber in an inert atmosphere, creating an optimal thermal environment for the desired process. The temperature range is from 300°C to 1450°C, with a free-floating thermocouple being the primary means of controlling the temperature. The easy to use control panel allows for various settings and parameters to be adjusted. This includes the temperature range, and the pressure range, as well as the dwell time and the gas composition within the chamber. The chamber also features a safety interlock equipment which prevents untimely evacuation of the chamber gas when the chamber is in use. In addition to the main furnace SP 32 is also supplied with a variety of accessories. This includes a hot gas circulation system and a dual gasbag unit, which further helps to optimize temperature uniformity throughout the processing chamber. Furthermore, the machine can be equipped with a sample focuser and a shaft sealing tool to enable processing of vertical samples. The furnace can also be supplied with a convenient programable logic controller (PLC) and automatic sample loading systems to further simplify and streamline the processing of multiple samples. ASM SP 32 is CE certified and UL listed, validating its quality and safety for use in the laboratory. It is further supported by a comprehensive global service network which can remediate any process problems if encountered. Overall, SP 32 is a robust and reliable diffusion furnace which can accommodate a wide variety of processes with exact temperature control and a low-pressure environment. Its comprehensive suite of accessories receives endorsement from laboratories across the world as they are used to reduce the time needed to carry out their tasks while improving accuracy and quality.
