Super Series™Vacuum Furnace SystemIt’s

super-precise and super-fast. The
T-M Vacuum Super Series vacuum furnace system is the high-
vacuum,high-temperature technically advanced vacuum furnace to satisfy all your
heat-treating needs.Within its all- stainless steel chamber is a two cubic foot
work zone capable of holding up to 200 pounds of material for tempering,
austenitizing, hardening, stress relieving, brazing, sintering, bonding,
annealing, and many other custom vacuum processes.With the standard three-zone
heat control package and electro-pneumatically operated Heat Pack door shield
assembly, a precision heating environment is created for perfect temperature
uniformity.The specially designed Hot Zone-to-chamber ratio enables the
high-speed pumping system to reach high vacuum quicker,maximizing your
productivity and quality with a cleaner work zone. With its inert gas on board
Quick Cool System, the metallurgical gas quench increases your cycle times by
rapidly cooling the chamber and increasing your product output.The Super Series
HMI software system can be configured with our controlled cooling,allows the
user to precisely control the cooling environment.The Super Series vacuum
furnace system can also be configured to accept multiple process gases. Once you
have determined your specific process parameters,the computerized control system
takes over to completely automate the process and archive all system data. An
operator needs only to load and unload the chamber and press the start
button.The Super Series vacuum furnace system is a completely contained unit
with no exposed wires, cables or pumps.This saves you valuable factory floor
space, and keeps your unit clean and easy to maintain. System installation is as
simple as connecting the unit to electric service and attaching gas,water and
air lines. The Hot Zone is fully removable for service.If the Super Series work
zone is not large enough for your application, please ask about our PACER Series
