Control Page shows information like sample current position and sample temperature reading. The user can also move the sample via the sample transfer mechanism here.
1200°C HPCVD Furnace with Travel Mechanism OTF-1200X-S-HPCVD The value in mm used in the control page is the position of the sample away from the outer side (the bellow’s side) of the track (not the quartz tube’s side). The traveling range of the sample is 0-100mm When the sample is put the deepest inside the furnace tube, the TC initial position in terms of Absolution Position is 100mm, which means it is 100mm away from the outer side of the track.
However, in countries that use 110V, a 208~240V single phase AC power line needs to be setup. Please see Appendix A for more detail. MTI Corporation will not be responsible for any equipment or property damage that results from improper or incorrect power connections.

1200°C HPCVD Furnace with Travel Mechanism OTF-1200X-S-HPCVD Notes: When the desired temperature is over 200 °C, the segments “C01~C03” are necessary; When the desired temperature is over 800 °C, the segments “C01~C05” are necessary. Make sure the cooling rate is 5 °C/min when the furnace temperature is over 800 °C and the cooling rate is 10 °C/min when the furnace temperature is at 400~800 °C.
7. Do not open the furnace when it is being heated above 300 to prevent its insulation materials from cracking. 8. MTI furnaces are only suitable for using with air or inert gas environments. Other flammable or toxic gases, such as H...
