An aeronautic motion control manufacturer invested in a low-temperature vacuum furnace. The furnace operates up to 1380°F (750°C) with work zone dimensions of 24” x 24” x 36” and a load capacity 1750 lb. The furnace works for applications with process temperatures up to 1400°F and where product surface purity is required.

The SECO/VACUUM Technologies furnace meets class 2 TUS requirements per AMS2750F - +/-10°F and is capable of nitrogen convection heating and cooling. The furnace can realize low-temperature processes under vacuum and in nitrogen convection. Cooling – the final stage of every heat treat cycle – is completed using an internal recirculation blower and an internal, water-cooled heat exchanger. In addition, the furnace has built-in software tools for monitoring and control.
“The type of heat treat equipment this customer has acquired from us demonstrates a significant bandwidth in our capability to meet a wide range of thermal processing needs," Piotr Zawistowski, managing director of SECO/VACUUM says. "We find this is fairly typical of aircraft OEMs and suppliers since the demands on their complex product range are not easily satisfied by a 'one-size-fits-all' solution.”
This is the fifth vacuum furnace for tempering, aging, and other processes supplied by SECO/WARWICK Group to the international aircraft controls manufacturer.
