Our program

Forging

We offer equipment to withstand the harsh forge shop environment; scale, lubricant, vibration, etc. This equipment has the widest matching range in the industry, to accommodate empty coils, coils with cold billets, and even a shorted output bus bar. The equipment is also designed to require minimal maintenance.

Whether your application involves ferrous or non-ferrous materials, for billet heating or bar end heating, we design turnkey systems specifically tailored to your needs.

Our corporate suppliers for this equipment are:

Heat treating

The primary metallurgical advantages of induction hardening include increased wear resistance and improved fatigue strength. A shallow hardened case, ranging from 0.25 to 1.5mm provides a part with excellent wear resistance in applications involving light to moderate loads. For shallow case depths, heating to the desired depth can be obtained by use of induction heating equipment operating at frequencies ranging between 50 kHz and 400 kHz. Deeper hardened cases ranging between 3.2 to 12.7mm provides substantially improved torsional and bending fatigue strength. Deeper desired patterns are achieved from 25 kHz down to 1 kHz.

The use of electromagnetic induction for hardening and tempering parts has been widely use throughout the heat treating industry for more than 75 years. Rapid heat times, repeatable control and inherent adaptability to in-line or stand-alone processing make it ideal for modern manufacturing facilities.

Induction heating is the most energy-efficient and controllable method for applying heat during the heat treating process. Its non-contact nature enables high production rates that meet the most demanding metallurgical requirements. The localized heating and direct coupling into the part minimizes the heat in the local environment, enhancing operator safety and comfort.

These versatile machines are designed to induction heat-treat your parts either by scanning or single shot heat treat methods. As leading suppliers and innovators of induction heating solutions, they have the experience and product necessary to meet your critical production needs.
