A coreless induction furnace that is automatically adjustable during assembly operations or melting operations. The furnace may include an outer shell, a set of adjustable shunt systems that operably engages with the outer shell, at least one cooling coil that operably engages with the set of adjustable shunt systems, and a power coil that operably engages with the at least one cooling coil and the set of adjustable shunt systems. The furnace is configured to automatically adjust at least one shunt of the set of adjustable shunt systems relative to at least one of the at least one cooling coil and the power coil. The furnace may also include an adjustable head system that operably engages with the outer shell. The adjustable head system is configured to automatically adjust a head of the adjustable head system relative to the at least one cooling coil and the power coil.

Disclosed herein is a furnace for producing single crystal boules, the furnace comprising a furnace wall; a plurality of crucibles, where each crucible is operative to contain a melt that is contacted by a different pull rod; where each pull rod is attached to seed crystal; a first drive system that is located above the furnace and is configured to drive a first main shaft that is either in a geared or belted communication with a plurality of first planetary shafts; where each pull rod is in rotary communication at least one planetary shaft; where each pull rod is operative to contact the melt while undergoing rotary and translational motion with respect to a melt in one of the plurality of crucibles; where each crucible is surrounded by an induction coil and a refractory lining; and wherein each induction coil and refractory lining lie within the furnace wall.
