Here we will try to list all product changes or upgrades/enhancements. We can manage improvements for those customers in far away places, doing our best to service customers and products at all times. Earlier products are not that easy but where there is a will, there is a way. Current development for future products will improve the firmware update process.
Please contact us should you have any questions.
General
- This is applicable to all ARC Annealers. Other than the Standard generic foot set, a Special Foot set now available. The latest Slider top also required. See 3D download page for more information.
ARC Alpha Series
- A20231113(M2.4): Adding Obstruction Routine to check for obstructions after drop. All Alpha’s to be fitted with USB-C port for firmware updates and Integrated Feeder operation. The ARC Feeder as optional extra.
ARC Standard
- After more effort and spending more $$$ we are now standardizing on a new core of different and custom composition. This lowers the energy usage and provides for less component heat build up during annealing whilst improving annealing. This is an optional major update and would only be possible at our facilities. It was not performed yet at a remote location.
- The Statistical calculations in the firmware caused havoc some times after 50 anneals which provided for stability issues, totally un-predictable. Go back to Home Screen and back to Anneal before you reach 50 Neals!! Each time you do this the stats reset and all should be good. This firmware upgrade involves both microprocessor and TFT Screen update.
