TF 6000 and TF 12000 – strong performance and high capacity
Because of the large capacity and the potentially large weight, at the TF 6000 and TF 12000 the inductor/crucible unit is tilted by motor drive. Use of a joystick enables the tilting process to be controlled easily and sensitively. The joystick unit may remain at the machine, but can also be taken out and to be used as a remote control for casting in safe distance. The 12,000 ccm usable volume of the crucible gives the TF 12000 an enormous capacity. The output of the newly-developed generator is of equally ample dimensions: 60 kW!
The generators (40 kW at TF 6000 and 60 kW at TF 12000) are fitted with a 32-bit micro-controller and are controlled via a console with an LCD display with full text readout.
Sophisticated electromagnetic shielding ensures that the induction generated loses as little energy as possible. This way also the electrosmog load for users is drastically reduced.
The thermal insulation around the inductor and crucible effectively reduces heat radiation.
