UniCase Master® HiFlow LPC +4D Quench®
UniCase Master® HiFlow LPC +4D Quench®
A new high volume, continuous vacuum carburizing furnace with single piece flow.
The multi-level LPC Pro & 4D Quench revolutionizes conventional case hardening methods for high-volume manufacturing of carburized gears. The continuous vacuum carburizing furnace employs a single-piece, in-line heat treating workflow coupled with high-precision case hardening and 4D Quench technology to streamline the entire case hardening process.
Benefits
- Enables single-piece flow production for precision automotive parts, transmissions, and bearings.
- Achieves high precision and repeatability in manufacturing.
- Provides 100% traceability with individual part monitoring and comprehensive reporting.
- Allows for 100% in-line testing after case hardening for quality assurance.
- Ensures perfectly uniform cooling of parts, providing consistent results while minimizing distortion.
Features
- Parts are individually quenched in a specially designed high-pressure 4D Quench chamber.
- Continuous single-piece workflow for case hardening of gears and bearings by low-pressure carburizing and high-pressure gas 4D Quenching.
- Capable of high-volume part throughput up to 1 million parts per year in a single furnace.
- Adaptable for thru hardening.
