The Vector vacuum furnace produced for Isoflama by SECO/WARWICK Group will help to achieve an effective solution for the heat treatment of dedicated parts – the hardening of very large dies for large presses used in the automotive industry. It is also equipped with an efficient cooling system and a large working zone with increased load support beam capacity, enabling work with very heavy dies.
“The customer wanted to shorten the heat treatment cycle time. We have used a number of modifications in this furnace, which are a response to the commercial heat-treating plant’s specific needs.” commented Maciej Korecki, vice president of the Vacuum Segment at SECO/WARWICK Group.
Łukasz Chwiałkowski, sales manager for this project, adds, “This time too, we have created a unique furnace based on a standard solution. We have reinforced the support beam under the hearth to increase the process load rating by more than 60%. This was a key modification which will allow this Brazilian commercial heat treater to process heavy and large dies for the automotive industry.“
