This addition to SCI's production capabilities enhances the Company's product portfolio. The hot press has a maximum pressure rating of 75 tons and operates up to 2400 degrees Celsius, which enables the manufacture of targets utilizing diverse precious metal materials. Each planar target can be manufactured up to 18 inches in diameter with multiple nitrogen purge cycles that ensure minimal oxygen content. Inert or forming gases can also be introduced at any pressure during the production cycle. The hot press has a retractable work thermocouple for lower temperature operations up to 1100 degrees Celsius. At higher temperature requirements, a controller receives production data from a pyrometer ensuring accurate and repeatable runs. It can also run hydraulics and heat from one profile while recording all available data. Additional diagnostic and operating capabilities enable remote monitoring of production runs and related issues.
