Programmable Oven with Membrane for Thermo Compression Bond

Description

Aalborg University needs to purchase a compact computer controlled infrared belt furnace capable of operating up to 1000C. The equipment is to be implemented in a research laboratory focused on exploring processes that reflects realistic industrial processing but with limited space. Hence an equipment with compact format smaller than 3.5 m x 1.5 m is needed but still with capability of well controlled and uniform process conditions. The equipment is to be used for a variety of applications including firing of thick film formulations requiring heating/cooling suitable for such firing profiles as well as controlled atmosphere operation to enable O2 ppm control thus the system needs to be able to support controlled atmosphere operation including nitrogen, forming gas or other and with some means of directing special gasses to selected sections. Lot 1: AAU finds that the purchase is covered by the exemption provisions in Article 32 of the Tender Directive, why AAU intends to carry out the purchase as a direct award.
