U-FAST Compact for R&D Applications
Model | Recommended Sintered Diameter [mm] | Pressing force* [kN] | Max Current** [A] | Max Voltage [V] | Ultimate vacuum [mbar] |
U-FAST Compact | ∅ 10 | 35 | 1 100 | 14 | < 9×10-2 |
∅ 20 | 55 | 2 200 | 14 | < 9×10-2 | |
∅ 30 | 75 | 3 330 | 14 | < 9×10-2 | |
U-FAST Compact – HV | ∅ 10 | 35 | 1 100 | 14 | < 5×10-5 |
∅ 20 | 55 | 2 200 | 14 | < 5×10-5 | |
∅ 30 | 75 | 3 330 | 14 | < 5×10-5 |
* Pressing force – possible options of hydraulic system or servopress.
** Max Current – The final value of the current is related to the value of the on-site connection voltage , so it can vary accordingly. Max output current can be increased up to 5 000 A.
The GeniCore U-FAST Compact model is a great choice for R&D applications where the aim is to develop new materials which can be then scaled up to bigger diameters by using GeniCore U-FAST GC (SPS) Device.
Manufacturing process




Mold inside U-FAST chamber

Temperature measurement

Conventional Method
Indirect heating (radiation / convection)

- Heating by radiation
- Low heating factor
- Temperature gradient in sintered materials
- Time-consuming and energy-consuming processes
U-FAST technology
Direct heating (conduction)

- Heating using Joule heating
- Fast, economical processes (30 min)
- Low energy consumption
- Lower sintering temperature
- Limited grain growth
Pulse duration below 1 ms

Pulse duration, which lasts even less than 1ms, gives the advantage of our U-FAST technology over SPS devices from competitors. Current pulses are shown using an oscilloscope
