This is a picture (example) of Signature’s control panel integrating a “touchscreen” operator interface that interconnects with the furnace’s programmable logic controller. A flat panel color operator interface terminal (touchscreen) provides graphic displays to indicate status of all furnace parameters and alarm conditions. The panel also provides programming access to all ramp/soak profiles and diagnostic capability to alert the operator to any condition that prevents normal furnace operation. The interface panel (touchscreen) on the left permits the operator to control all aspects of furnace operation. Â

Time and temperature have a way of making things deteriorate. Vacuum also can present a problem for the materials (constituents) of the thermocouple, specifically relating to the vapor pressure of the materials.

First work a little bit "feed forward" and monitor the resistance carefully, since it changes with the temperature of the element. When the resistance is somewhat stabilized: release more power.

When the resistance is somewhat stabilized: release more power.
We have thyristor control units for driving Molibdenum elements. They can also drive Tungestenum, KanthalSuper, Platinum and Silicium-Carbide (SiC), as well as quartz lamps and short-wave infraled loads.

Yes there is. Check our heatmanager pro system. A flexible control system for 6 (or 12) channels. The system combines both the control & registration in 1 system. So no separate recorder needed. Used by many heat-treaters around the world. See attached the brochure.HeatManagerPro_5.01
