Key Capabilities
- Ultra-fast densification: custom-shaped pulses < 1 ms prevent grain growth.
- Controlled inert atmosphere: MBRAUN glovebox ensures minimal contamination and superior gas purity control.
- Modular upgrade path: from compact GC55 to high-capacity GC85-HV, without replacing the base system.
- Independent or integrated operation: glovebox and sintering unit can operate independently or as a combined solution.
- Process monitoring: Siemens PLC with live data logging and analysis.
Collaboration with MBRAUN
The glovebox system is delivered in strategic partnership with MBRAUN, ensuring:
- Minimal contamination and superior inert gas control.
- Ergonomic and modular chamber design.
- Optional purification and automation upgrades.
Designed for Advanced Materials
- R&D and low-volume production of oxygen- and moisture-sensitive materials.
- Applications in electronics, energy, aerospace, and tooling.
- Suitable for Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMGs), High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs), transparent ceramics, thermoelectrics, and nanomaterials.
Why U-FAST in a Glovebox?
- Future-proof for next-gen materials (HEA, BMG, transparent ceramics).
- Scalable Processes: transfer processes from GC systems to U-FAST MASS or U-FAST Hybrid.
- Compact footprint: ideal for laboratories with limited space.
