TF-12000 – the giants among the tilting furnaces
The large crucible volumes of 6,000, 12,000 or 28,000 ccm gives these machines an enormous capacity. Because of the potentially large weight, the inductor/ crucible unit is not tilted manually – it uses a motor drive with a stable shaft. Use of a joystick enables the tilting process to be controlled easily and sensitively.
