This is a logic system that will automatically keep the furnace active as long as it has something to smelt.

=== Items Used ===

* [[Arc Furnace]]
* [[Kit (Logic I/O)]] * 3
* [[Kit (Logic Processor)]]
* Optional: [[Chutes]]

=== Setup ===

So we just want the Arc Furnace to activate whenever content is put in. You might thing you can just bind its "has input" (ImportQuantity) property to its Activate property, but sadly if you're piping content with a chute this will not work. The exact reason results from some internal game mechanisms but the gist is that the value needs to be updated after the furnace has turned off (and ImportQuantity updates slightly before that), so that's why we're adding Activate to the value.

 This setup triggers once for each stack that enters the Import-slot, making the process work just as if you pressed the button yourself.

+Previous guides for automating the Arc Furnace have had the annoying side-effect of triggering the Activate-command every time the quantity of ore in the Import-slot changes. This would result in the activation-sound playing every time one ore was processed, or 50 times for a full stack.
