Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between the L and LT series muffle furnaces?
Both series offer the same heating technology and performance; the primary difference is the door style. The L series features a flap door that can be used as a work platform, while the LT series features a lift door that keeps the hot surface facing away from the operator.
2. Are Nabertherm furnaces suitable for cleanroom use?
Yes, certain models like the ceramic muffle furnaces are designed with smooth, low-particle surfaces. For specific cleanroom classes, Nabertherm offers customized solutions with specialized seals and exhaust systems.
3. Can I monitor my Nabertherm furnace remotely?
Absolutely. With the "MyNabertherm" app and a compatible Series 500 controller, you can monitor the progress of your heating programs and receive status notifications directly on your smartphone or tablet.
4. What is the benefit of a weighing furnace?
Nabertherm weighing furnaces (like the L 9/12/SW) feature an integrated precision scale and specialized software. This allows you to measure and document weight loss automatically during the heating process, which is essential for ashing and TGA applications.
