CFC Multi-layer Fixtures
Carbon fiber composite multi-layer loading fixtures that maximise vacuum furnace batch capacity. Modular frames stack multiple charge trays with graphite support pillars. Engineered to your hot zone envelope.
CFC Multi-layer Fixtures allow heat treaters and sintering operators to stack multiple workpiece trays vertically within a single furnace hot zone, dramatically increasing batch capacity without enlarging the furnace.
Each fixture consists of a C/C composite frame with precision-drilled pillar sockets and graphite or CFC support pillars. The modular design allows the number of layers to be adjusted to suit workpiece height and furnace clearance. Frames are lightweight yet structurally rigid at operating temperature, maintaining dimensional stability through repeated thermal cycles.
Commonly used in vacuum hardening, brazing, sintering, and annealing of aerospace, medical, and tooling components. Supplied as complete assemblies or as individual frame and pillar components.
