• Project
• Daniela Leitner in the Nuclear Sciences Division
  required a high temperature crucible oven for the
  ion source/injector. Their present oven was
  capable of reaching only around 500 C, and in
  order to use a greater variety of materials, a
  higher temperature of around near 1000 C was
  desired.
• The challenges
• The business end of the oven needs to reach
  around 900 C, but is located almost 15 away
  from the vacuum flange. Thermal isolation was
  also required to keep the surrounding structure
  from overheating. Lastly, the whole oven,
  shielding, and structure had to fit into a 1 x
  0.75 envelope!
• Vendor lead times were also an issue, since the
  whole project was supposed to last only about 5
  weeks.
• The Solution
• A great deal of communication took place between
  the vendors in order to supply the required
  components (material, heater wire,etc.) in time.
  In parallel, LBNLs main shop fabricated most of
  the parts, and an almost daily communication was
  required to keep things on track.
