Vacuum circuit breaker brazing furnaces (VCB)

Description

SECO/VACUUM’s Vector® VCB furnace is a single-chamber vacuum brazing furnace dedicated to the processing of electrical components, switch components like vacuum interrupters, and vacuum circuit breakers (VCB).

These types of applications require a high-purity process atmosphere. Therefore, furnaces are equipped with turbomolecular pumps to achieve high or ultra-high vacuum. Moreover, due to the high purity requirements, the equipment is assembled and tested in a dedicated clean room in our workshop to minimize the risk of contamination inside the furnace system.

The Vector is a single-chamber horizontal vacuum furnace, equipped with a molybdenum hot zone dedicated for pure processing and turbomolecular pumps to achieve the required high-vacuum level. Additionally, the larger size of the furnace is equipped with an additional heating element to ensure optimal uniformity of all processed parts.
