SOBOTTA GMBH can look back on over 35 years of experience in the development and design of automatic transfer devices for high temperature applications. The systems have continuously been improved to meet the various requirements of individual applications.
• Extremely flexible and versatile for use with:
· TV furnace probes
· Gas sampling probes
· Thermocouples
· IR cameras
• Stroke adapted individually up to 3000 mm, bigger stroke available on request
• Space-saving linear technology
• Pneumatically operated
• Installation position optional (even vertical installation, retraction against the force of gravity), position of the probe can alternatively be above, below or sideways to the transfer device
• Compact design with integrated reserve air container for emergency retraction, no pressure vessel at the control box
• Water-cooled systems for permanent use at extreme ambient temperatures (e.g. glass industry)
• Individual boiler boxes for direct mounting to boiler pipes
• Vertical rotating systems with pneumatic or electric drive available as optional equipment
Components for the system with transfer device:
 |
Furnace probes
Option of axial or radial view direction with lenses in picture angles varying from 10° to 110°, camera in colour or black/white. |
 |
Camera System Cable
12 x flex 0.25 mm² with integrated 1 x 75 Ohm video conductor, double shielded both ends with 16-pin heavy duty connector coated with SILTEMP protection, heat resistant up to 230 °C. |
 |
Automatic Transfer Device
Pneumatically operated, with rodless cylinder for shorter length, incl. hinged flange for easy angle adjustment, incl. probe holder with clamp for easy and fast assembling of furnace probe, variable dip length inside the furnacer |
 |
Control and Supply Cabinet
For monitoring cooling media, compressed and purging air. All alarms will be reported potential free to the control centre either as single or group alarm. Optional remote control of the transfer device from the control centre. |
 |
Metal flex hoses
1 x NW 8 DKL 10 for purging air
2 x NW 8 DKL 10 for operating air
1 x NW 8 DKL 10 for air for emergency retraction
2 x NW 13 DKL 15 for cooling medium |
 |
Sicromal Tube and Shutter Box
To be inserted into the furnace opening. A Sicromal tube made of material 1.4841 will be inserted into the view opening. The shutter box operates automatically by spring power and shuts the furnace opening in case the furnace probe is removed. |
 |
Mounting Plate
Interface between transfer device and system supplied by customer, will be welded onto the boiler’s outer wall by (boiler) welder, stud bolts enable convenient mounting and assembling of the entire transfer device. |
 |
Sealing Flange
To seal furnace opening while furnace probe is in observation position. Clamp connection for easy axial adjustment. ISOPLAN coating seals between the flange and shutter box. |
 |
Stop Cylinder
To secure retracted position in depressurized state, permanently prevents the probe from re-entering the furnace through gravitational force. Necessary in case of inclination downwards. Stop cylinder is not needed when probe is mounted horizontally. |
 |
17” Colour Monitor
Desktop application 230 V AC, 50 Hz Make: JVC – model TM 1700 PN in sheet metal housing, suitable as a tabletop unit for the maintenance installation. |
