GSL-1700X-ASD-80 is a fully automatic tube furnace operated by PC with an 80 mm ID alumina tube and 1700oC max. working temperature. It automates the vacuum sealing, purging, and pressure control ( Vacuum or positive ), heating, and cooling, as well as flange opening in a sequence via one click without manual operation. Automation of sample loading can also be realized via an optional robot, including remote control, data logging, sample loading, and unloading for AI material research
