Non-rotational induction heat treating for crankshafts: This stationary heating method provides several practical and technical benefits; .

Stationary Method Benefits vs Traditional Rotational Problems
• Stationary: Virtually no distortion — 0 - 45 microns max.
Traditional: Part growth and distortion, due to longe heat times.
• Stationary: Short Heat times — < 3 sec. Production rates up to 120 parts/hour.
Traditional: 8+ sec heat times
• Stationary: Robust CNC machined block coil. In coil temper - No moving powered parts Traditional: Brazed joints. Carbide spacers. Shorter tool life.
• Stationary: Reduced Floor Space — Modular, common base. Can Switch pallets for I4 / V6 / V8. Traditional: 75% larger line size including: hardening, water sytems, temper oven, straightening and grinding
• Stationary: High surface compressive stresses - Dramatic reduction of scale and surface decarburization
Traditional: Needs post grinding and straightening
