Model AVS-4000 Automated High Vacuum Furnace



Model AVS-4000 Automated High Vacuum Furnace

The Model AVS-4000 is a high-vacuum multi-atmosphere sealing furnace that is custom designed for automated sealing operations as one element of an integrated production system. The furnace is fully operational at temperatures up to 500°C, vacuum levels as low as 10-7 Torr and automatic selection and electronic control of up to three process gasses. This system may be tooled to seal MEMS devices and can be adapted for many sealing and soldering processes requiring low levels of residual moisture and gas together with close control of temperature, vacuum and pressure. Robotic tooling load and un-load from in-line transfer stations is optional, allowing for fully automatic production operation.
