Abstract:
1. A firing furnace for the dental sector, with a temperature control device via which the temperature in the interior of the furnace is measured and regulated, wherein the temperature control device determines the integral of the measured temperature over the course of time and stores it, the temperature control device recording the temperature-time integral above a processing temperature and, in addition to the measured recorded actual temperature, controls the firing furnace based on said integral, the temperature control device causing the firing furnace to be heated to an overtemperature that lies above the processing temperature, and the temperature control device maintaining the firing furnace at this overtemperature during a predetermined holding time and, wherein the temperature that is used for the regulation via the temperature control device is measured on a regulating temperature sensor in the form of one single thermocouple within the furnace, which is spaced apart in from a press muffle that is fitted in the firing furnace, and wherein the temperature is regulated along a predetermined temperature gradient to the processing temperature by the temperature control device.
