Induction hardening machines

Customised solutions

• Custom-engineered turnkey solutions for induction hardening tailored to the specific requirements of the client. Induction hardening systems are developed and optimised for maximum effectiveness.
• Customised frequency, coil geometry, power and cycle time to assure the desired surface hardness and hardness profile of the workpiece
• Loading/unloading and PLC/CNC control system tailored to your needs
• Applications: induction hardening of large-sized, massive and specific parts, bearing ring raceways (for outside diameters up to 4000 mm), gear teeth on the inner and outer diameter of large bearing rings, roll necks...

BIKS 830 Vertical dual-frequency induction hardening machine

Induction hardening machine for inductive surface hardening of rolls with a diameter from 250 to 830 mm. Induction frequency is continuously variable and therefore several case depths are possible, up to 48 mm with uniformity of hardness in the range +/- 2 HRC. The machine has two inductor coils which operate simultaneously, each with its own frequency, one with a high frequency (250 Hz - 1000 Hz) and another with a low frequency (50 Hz -100 Hz) and thus a longer period of hardening is enabled, more power is delivered and larger hardening depths are achieved. Due to these characteristics, the machine also enables the rehardening of used rolls.

Quench hardening stations, Quench tanks

Automated customised quench hardening stations with motorised conveyors, an automated pumping system, automated protective clamps and racks for parts, loading/unloading and a PLC/CNC control system ... with everything tailored to your needs. Automated protective clamps prevent rolled profiles bending during quenching (minimal deformations);

Custom-made quench tanks are tailored to the metal parts to provide uniform cooling and quenching which is enabled through appropriate tank construction and sufficient agitation close to all surfaces of the parts.

Supercooling chambers

Supercooling chambers are designed for additional hardening after induction hardening. They are used to provide a uniform distribution of martensite and a uniform hardened surface (no soft zones, no pitting), as well as greater hardness and wear resistance of the material.

The rollers are cooled (supercooling temperature of -150˚C) with liquid nitrogen, using jets and fans. Supercooling chambers are equipped with a PLC controller and an operating panel with a touch screen that enables all parameters to be monitored, all the settings to be changed etc.

Conveyors

Customised conveyors for different products, including for heavy pieces in steel and other industries

Conveyor for heavy pieces (hot forgings) in the steel industry:

• thermally isolated (the motor does not overheat);
• and inbuilt spring supports for safe and easy lay-down and positioning of heavy forgings.

Speed reducers

Customised speed reducers made for a wide variety of applications, including for use in special workplaces and extreme conditions (coalmines etc.)

Speed reducer 500 RP with an atex anti-explosion (Ex I M2) protective layer.

• Reduction ratio (i)                  24.581
• T2                                        93.7 kNm

Activities

Design, development and manufacturing
Design, engineering (mechanical, electrical and software) and manufacturing of mechanical equipment, machines and lines for various industrial sectors.

For all manufactured machines and equipment we guarantee the delivery of replacement parts by the agreed deadline.

Reconstruction and modernisation-revamps of machines and production lines
We carry out the reconstruction, refitting and modernisation of production lines which are optimally aligned to changes in the manufacturing of new types of products, allow greater capacity and a higher degree of automation etc.

Individual components
Using the latest processing machines and traditional or computer numerical controlled (CNC) technology, we produce various individual components of machines according to the client's plan, or we design an entirely new plan for them. We can also find and supply the most suitable component or spare part for your machine that can be custom refitted, if necessary.

Machining
We perform turning, milling, slotting, and grinding with modern machinery using conventional or CNC technology.
