AVS not only supplies furnaces throughout the world, but also offers ongoing technical support to our many customers. An AVS furnace with the ACE™ Data Acquisition and Control System includes lifetime technical support via telephone and internet access via a customer-provided fixed IP address for remote control diagnostics and furnace troubleshooting. AVS also offers on-site furnace inspection, furnace repair, furnace rebuilds, furnace refurbishment, and furnace upgrade installation services. All AVS furnace customers have access to aftermarket replacement parts, spare parts and maintenance services to keep their furnaces up and running. On-site controls upgrades and on-site training are also available.

AVS Code Compliance

To provide custom furnaces throughout the world, AVS maintains code certifications to manufacture pressure vessels to ASME Section VIII div I, PED (European pressure equipment directive), Japanese code, Chinese code, Russian code, and will qualify for others if necessary. AVS adherence to ASME codes allows AVS the confidence to offer the only standard 5 year chamber warranty in the industry. Our furnaces are built for complete safety during operation to meet OSHA, UL, CSA or European CE standards. Every furnace is fully tested and customer-approved at AVS prior to shipment. After installation at the customer site, each furnace is fully tested a second time on-site for final customer approval and commissioning.
