Support Holder For Quartz Dip Stick In Directional Solidification System Furnaces

摘要

A support fixture for use in a directional solidification system for the production of multi-crystalline ingots having a housing with a passage that extends into an inner assembly having a crucible includes a collar, an alignment bracket, and an arm. The collar has a mounting structure for attaching the collar to the housing. A passage extends through the collar and defines a longitudinal axis. The alignment bracket is in spaced relation to the collar. The arm extends from the collar to the alignment bracket to support the alignment bracket and prevent movement of the alignment bracket with respect to the collar. The arm is shaped to allow an operator access to an area adjacent to the longitudinal axis.
