Product Overview
Netzsch LAF 427 Laser Flash Apparatus Controller – Used
This listing is for a Netzsch LAF 427 controller, part of the Laser Flash Apparatus system for thermal diffusivity measurements.
Netzsch has a long-standing reputation in thermal analysis and materials testing. The LAF 427 controller is a key component of the system, managing shutter, laser, and heater functions to deliver precise control during thermal conductivity experiments.
Product Condition
Used. Appears in good physical condition. Tested to power on, but full functional testing was not performed. At power, shutter displays as closed, laser shows as safe, and heater reports failure due to no heater attached. Sold AS-IS without further testing.
Product Overview
The Netzsch LAF 427 controller is designed to operate with Laser Flash Apparatus systems, widely used in laboratories for determining the thermal diffusivity of solids. It provides coordinated control of laser pulses, shutters, and heating stages, enabling accurate and repeatable thermal property measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Has this controller been fully tested?
No. It was powered on and basic status indicators were observed, but full functionality testing was not performed.
What status was shown when powered on?
The shutter displayed as closed, laser showed safe, and heater displayed failure due to no heater being connected.
What is included in this listing?
The Netzsch LAF 427 controller only. No cables, heater, or additional system components are included.
What is the condition?
Used, appears in good physical condition. Sold AS-IS due to limited testing.
What is the role of the LAF 427?
It is the control unit for a Laser Flash Apparatus, managing the laser pulse, shutter timing, and heating functions during thermal diffusivity experiments.
The LAF 427 reflects Netzsch’s precision approach to materials science — this controller’s next laboratory story is waiting to be written.
