IR SMART LAB OVEN

Independently Controllable Infrared Heat Zones- For purposes of flexibility, the top and bottom infrared heaters are zoned independently. This is very useful when you need to duplicate a customer's oven that may have top heat only. When testing for optimal cure speeds turn on both top and bottom infrared heaters.
Accuracy and Repeatability- Repeated testing shows ± 2% variance on temperature. The oven controller maintains oven parameters so that uniform testing can be repeated, accurately. This oven allows you to check coating performance from batch to batch under the exact same infrared conditions.
Temperature Profile Development- As the coatings industry moves toward accelerated cure schedules, you will be able to duplicate any cure time and temperature that your customers require. The BGK IR Smart Oven will allow you to cure, record, document and make changes to virtually any coating cure parameters.
Closed Loop Temperature Controls- Rapid response infrared lamps require the speed of optical temperature measurement for consistent heat profiles. BGK has long been a leader in controlling infrared heat sources. Controls are accessed via PLC with an operator interface screen.Four modes of Operational Control

A PID control algorithm ramps the part temperature to set-point via operator defined maximum power output rate (slow or fast). The power output required to maintain part temperature is the variable (up to 20 steps possible).
Smart Logger (OPTIONAL)- The IR Smart Oven can be equipped with the Smart Logger. This allows for creation of data files to store andor print test data.
