AUSTROMAT baSiC:
The AUSTROMAT baSiC high-temperature furnace by DEKEMA is equipped
with two silicone carbide heating elements that produce sintering temperatures up
to 1,560°C; these heating elements are distinguished by their unique robustness and
longevity. The bottom part of the two-part firing chamber is manually drawn out by
a drawer for loading and unloading. The drawer must be closed for the lift to join or
separate the two halves of the firing chamber. All components of the AUSTROMAT
baSiC firing chamber consist of highly pure materials and provide very homogenous
temperature distribution for sintering without discoloring the sintered object. The temperature
is checked and controlled by two thermocouples made of platinum/platinumrhodium.
About 25 units can be placed on the sintering platform. The AutoDry system
in conventional DEKEMA ceramic furnaces enables precise drying starting at 80°C
in the AUSTROMAT baSiC and also quickly and precisely cools the sintered objects.
Depending on the employed materials, the sintering time can be shortened to 90 minutes
including the cooling time. Related programs are either preprogrammed in the
factory, or they can be downloaded from the DEKEMA database via the internet. The
AUSTROMAT baSiC requires little space due to its compact design and the sandwich
insulation.
The central display on the USB terminal is used to choose between 10 stored programs
and provides information on the status of a running program. The programs are started
by pressing a button on the USB terminal.
Changes may be made while the program is running using a web browser. A JAVA™-
capable browser is all that is needed to contact the AUSTROMAT baSiC through
either an open or user assignable IP address. Secure access via a password offers
numerous possibilities for adding to, or changing the saved programs on either a PC
or MA C. The unrestricted programming allows the individual program sequences to
be arranged as desired. Existing programs from the AUSTROMAT μSiC can also
be used without being changed. By incorporating the AUSTROMAT baSiC into your
network environment, the furnace software can be diagnosed online and updated. A
backup and recovery function via the USB interface reliably protects against data loss.
Firing programs can also be retrieved or read out via the USB interface. In addition, the
programs that are run can also be recorded on a USB stick or accessed via FTP online.
The programs that are run can be logged more easily with the additional of the free
program X-DREAM , and if there is an Internet connection, an e-mail with a detailed
log as an attachment is automatically sent to a maximum of three e-mail recipients.
The AUSTROMAT baSiC automatically identifies the available electrical voltage supply
connection and can run off of standard wall sockets (use of a dedicated electrical
circuit is recommended). With its shortened sintering cycle of 90 minutes and improved
process reliability, the AUSTROMAT baSiC is the perfect addition for laboratories with
small milling units or for large milling Centers.
