CrankPro® Induction Heating Systems utilize patented SHarP-C™ (Sstationary Hardening Pprocess for Crankshafts) hardening technology, which eliminates workpiece rotation during the induction heat treating process. This revolutionary approach enables faster part production while delivering superior hardness quality over other methods. There are several practical, economical and technical benefits associated with SHarP-C™ hardening technology including extended tooling life, dramatically reduced maintenance cost, simple operation, improved heat treating quality and dramatically reduced distortion.
Features
Increased Production
Non-contact / Stationary Hardening Process
Only 1 moving part per station (Open/Close)
Increased throughput – Short heat times – less than 4 seconds
Production rates up to 90 parts/ hour
Improved Quality
Robust CNC machined inductors. No moving powered parts
Distortion is typically less than 25 microns, subsequent operations may be improved
Improved microstructure of hardened material
Reduced Downtime
Production ready “quick change” pallet assembly for fast coil changeover
Improved tooling life
Redundant duel bag quench filtration system, permits filter replacement while machine remains in operation
Modular design permits fast part changeovers
Reduced Operating Costs
Substantially reduced operating cost compared to rotational induction heat treating
Substantially reduced maintenance cost
50% less energy consumption compared to rotational induction heat treating
