Customer directive

Our customer wanted to create an indexing single part flow inert atmosphere production furnace system to match, and seamlessly integrate into, the customer’s entire existing manufacturing process at a production rate of 45 seconds part to part. The customer’s then existing process included inefficient batch furnace staging of parts at this point in the process.


Description

The DTI-948 vertical oven cures epoxy on solar panels. The parts are manually loaded and unloaded in the oven tooling. Parts are heated as they travel up and down in a vertical orientation in the heated chamber. Parts then travel in horizontal orientation through the cooling chamber of the oven. The operating temperature of the oven is 205°C (401°F). Parts are cooled in the cooling chamber by ambient air.
