Linde’s ADDvance cabinet keeps powder metals at high quality for 3-D printing
- May 24, 2018
- Product Release
- Additive Manufacturing
Linde LLC has introduced the ADDvance® cabinet for storage of powder metals. It is atmosphere-regulated to protect powder integrity before use in additive manufacturing and other powder metal processes.
The cabinet continuously tests internal temperature and humidity levels and selectively uses a purge gas to regulate the internal atmosphere if changes are detected. Whenever one of the cabinet doors is opened and closed, a high-volume flow of purge gas, typically nitrogen or argon, is triggered to remove moisture, and then a lower-volume gas stream keeps humidity levels consistently low.
The storage system features touchscreen controls, gas flow and atmosphere monitoring, and alarms for excess humidity. The cabinet comprises two atmosphere-controlled compartments, about 40 by 20 in. with shelves, plus two open shelves below for storing equipment.
