Title:
坩堝シャトル組立体及び動作方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5027719
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A crucible handling shuttle (16) includes a pair of opposed dual crucible-gripping arms (25,27) mounted on a rotatable head (22) and moves between an induction furnace pedestal (12) and a crucible loading station (50), such that one pair of arms pick up a crucible loaded with a preweighed sample (13), the shuttle moves to the induction furnace (11), where the other pair of arms grip and remove a spent crucible. The shutter head then rotates to deposit the new sample-holding crucible onto the pedestal and subsequently moves out of the furnace area to a sample disposal chute (28) positioned between the crucible loading station and the furnace, whereupon the spent crucible is dropped for disposal. The shuttle head is then rotated and moved to the loading station to pick up a new crucible.
