The Induction Furnace is designed for fast drawing of large diameter optical fiber peforms. Induction technology results in a simpler graphite design which is robust, easy to change and, with proper operating proceedures, will give good furnace life.

The furnace body is vacuum tight and high purity Argon is used during operation. The bore gas flow is downward laminar flow, which ensures excellent control of fiber diameter variation.

The power supply is an industrial solid state power inverter based upon the latest in IGBT switching technology. It is proven reliable in 24 x 7 operations in fiber dawing applications. It is supplied and supported by a multi-national company with a global support network. Nextrom offers many options to customize every furnace system to specific cutomer products and needs.
