Model

SPS-5T-40-mini

Principle

SPS technology applies ON-OFF DC pulses generated by a special power control unit to the powder sample. In addition to the usual sintering promotion effects of electrical discharge machining (discharge impact pressure and Joule heating), it also effectively utilizes the spark discharge phenomenon (instantaneous hightemperature plasma) between powder particles at the initial stage of the pulse discharge to promote sintering, achieving rapid densification through an instantaneous high-temperature field.

Advantages

1. Large chamber space, easy operation.
2. The upper and lower punches are equipped with thermocouples for temperature detection. If any abnormality occurs, the user will immediately observe it and can shut down the equipment to prevent damage.
3. Infrared pyrometer measures temperature from the top of the furnace, which is more accurate than side measurement.
4. The water cooling system has water temperature and water pressure monitoring. In case of abnormality, an alarm is triggered and heating is automatically cut off.
5. Equipped with an explosion protection system. When the pressure inside the chamber exceeds the set value, an alarm is triggered and heating is cut off.
6. Provides overtemperature, overpressure, overcurrent, undervoltage, broken thermocouple protection and indication.

Pulse Power Supply

(Image reference)
High-stability pulse output: pulse train period and conduction width are uniform, no waveform distortion or phase shift, indicating precise power control logic and long-term stable output of set current.
Excellent synchronization: load current (yellow channel) and voltage (purple channel) signals are fully phase-synchronized with negligible response delay, ensuring simultaneous Joule heating and plasma effects during sintering.
High-frequency carrier characteristics: carrier frequency stable at approx. 30.86 kHz, steep current rise edge, quickly forming uniform discharge paths between powder particles for efficient sintering.
Clean turn-off characteristics: no tailing or freewheeling during current turnoff, accurately controlling single-pulse energy and avoiding ineffective heating or local overheating.

Imported infrared pyrometer range: 600–3000°C.

Infrared Pyrometer

Japan Chino IRCZ H7T is a highend, ultrahigh temperature fiberoptic infrared pyrometer. Its notable feature is a robust probe consisting of a sapphire lens and optical fiber, which transmits infrared radiation energy to a rear converter for processing.
Spectral response: typically short wavelength 0.9–1.55 μm, ideal for measuring hightemperature, bright or polished metal surfaces (e.g., molten steel, stainless steel, tungsten, molybdenum), as well as silicon crystals, graphite, etc. It maintains good measurement performance even at low emissivity.
Twocolor infrared pyrometer, range 600–3000°C.
Strong antiinterference, unaffected by electromagnetic interference.
High measurement accuracy: below 1000°C: ±5°C; 1000–1500°C: ±0.5% of reading; 1500–2500°C: ±0.6% of reading; above 2500°C: ±1% of reading.

Pressing System

Electric input method. Hydraulic station with imported proportional valve, potentiometer, pressure sensor, displacement display using a grating ruler (accuracy 0.02 mm), hydraulic cylinder and related hydraulic devices. Pressure adjustment can be switched between manual and automatic, and can be adjusted manually. Automatic pressure adjustment can be set via the touch screen, with stable pressure holding capability.

Temperature Control Instrument

Eurotherm 3504 programmable temperature controller.
1. Highprecision temperature instrument, LCD display, 5digit display, simple configuration via quick setup, °C/°F switching.
2. 500segment program control, 8 groups of PID intelligent adjustment.
3. Overtemperature protection and broken thermocouple protection – when overtemperature or thermocouple break occurs, the furnace heating circuit is automatically cut off (when the furnace temperature exceeds 1820°C or the thermocouple burns out, the AC relay on the main circuit automatically disconnects, the main circuit is cut off, the ON lamp on the panel goes out, the OFF lamp lights up, effectively protecting the furnace).
4. Supports various communication interfaces: Modbus, Ethernet, Profibus, Devicenet – can be integrated with any PLC or upperlevel system.
5. Poweroff protection: after power failure and restart, the program does not start from the initial temperature but from the furnace temperature at the time of power failure.
6. The instrument has an autotuning function.

Graphite Mold

Water Cooling System

Composed of pipes and related devices. Cooling water enters the main inlet, then is distributed through branches to the furnace body, furnace cover, furnace bottom, watercooled electrodes, and other points requiring cooling, then collected and discharged. Cooling water circulation hoses are made of hightemperatureresistant rubber. The main inlet pipe is equipped with an electric contact pressure gauge – when water pressure drops below 0.2 MPa, heating is automatically cut off. The main outlet pipe is equipped with a temperature sensor – when the temperature exceeds 45°C, heating is automatically cut off.
