The HC installations are specially designed for crankshaft induction heating and allow big series heat-treatment and integration in automatic manufacture line.
In the crankshafts are superficially hardened by induction: the supports, the journals, with or without radio, end and plates. Frequently, the hardened parts tempered later, either by induction, in the same machine, or by an electrical furnace of continuous running.
Depending on the required productions, the installations can be semiautomatic, with manual load and unload, or completely automatic.
In both cases, the parts hardening is automatic under the control system supervision that assures an accurate, repetitive and controlled quality. A suitable selection of power equipments and machine configuration allows to obtain productions up to 100 parts/hour approximately.
HC equipments can be fitted with load and unload devices, facilitating their insertion in any line of automatic manufacture.
