Reel to Reel Annealing Oven

Precision Annealing Oven with Reel-to-Reel Processing

Steeger USA offers a state-of-the-art annealing oven specifically designed for the continuous processing of Nitinol and other high-temperature metals. With advanced reel-to-reel capabilities, this system ensures efficient and precise annealing for demanding applications.

Key Features of the Annealing Oven

  1. Reel-to-Reel Annealing Process:
    • Completed reels of braided material are loaded onto the machine and processed continuously.
    • Materials are pulled smoothly through the annealing chamber, ensuring consistent results from start to finish.
    • Ideal for high-volume production, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput.
  2. Thermcraft Furnace for Uniform Heating:
    Materials are advanced through a high-precision Thermcraft furnace, providing consistent and uniform annealing to maintain the integrity of Nitinol and other high-temperature metals.
  3. Controlled Argon Environment:
    The oven operates in a 99% Argon environment, using Festo valves and controllers to prevent oxidation and ensure a clean, high-quality finish.
  4. Advanced Material Handling Technology:
    • Yaskawa Servo Motors and Drives: Enable smooth, precise pulling of materials through the oven.
    • RedLion HMI/PLC Controls: Offer real-time monitoring and adjustments for consistent annealing parameters.
  5. Tension Control for Accuracy:
    Inline tensiometers regulate tension throughout the reel-to-reel process, creating a continuous feedback loop to avoid material distortion or inconsistencies.

Benefits of Reel-to-Reel Annealing Ovens

  • High Efficiency: Seamless reel-to-reel operation minimizes manual intervention and production delays.
  • Superior Quality: Uniform heating and precise tension control result in consistently annealed materials.
  • Scalable Production: Supports large-scale manufacturing needs while maintaining precision.

The machine features a Thermcraft Express Line Split Tube Furnace capable of heating up to 1200°C. https://thermcraftinc.com/product-category/express-line-laboratory-furnaces/
