OTF-1200XS6-ASD is a 6" OD automated tube furnace up to 1100°C. It automates the pump-purge cycles, gas flow, vacuum, heating, and cooling in a sequence. The sliding flange simplifies sample loading and retrieval for conventional tube furnaces. With assistance of a robotic arm, it realizes continuous operation 24×7 to accelerate next-generation material discovery. It also supports remote PC control, monitoring, and data logging and links up to 8 furnaces. 

Note: Please check out Prof. Ceder's Group using this furnace for an excellent article:  An autonomous laboratory for the accelerated synthesis of novel materials
