Services
Hydrogen Furnaces
Camco's hydrogen furnaces operate up to 2100C in hydrogen or inert atmospheres. These cold-wall systems ensure self-cleaning processes and rapid cooldowns. Optional heated bubblers and dewpoint monitors enable precise humidity control for ceramic metallizing. Standard safety features include low coolant flow detection and purge assurance logic.
Vacuum Furnaces
Our ultra-clean vacuum furnaces achieve 10^-7 torr pressure at temperatures up to 2000C. Standard Agilent turbomolecular pumps require minimal maintenance. Features include one-button automation, cascade temperature control, and FTP remote monitoring. Ideal for active metal brazing and processing reactive metals like titanium.
Touchscreen Controllers
Developed in-house since 2021, these intuitive controllers standardize operation across models. They include dynamic displays for process parameters, event logging with timestamps, and customizable alerts. Features simplify programming while maintaining precise control over ramp/soak cycles and atmospheric conditions.
High-Temperature Fixturing
Custom-built fixturing using molybdenum, tungsten, and technical ceramics optimizes thermal conductivity. Solutions include perforated plates for uniform heating and mesh layers for batch processing. In-house material stock allows rapid prototyping and short lead times for production-specific configurations.
Refurbished Equipment
Reconditioned furnaces restore original performance specifications at reduced costs. Each unit undergoes comprehensive testing and component replacement. Ideal for budget-conscious customers requiring reliable industrial-grade equipment with full technical support and warranty options.
