Ipsen covers the whole heat treatment range. In doing so, there are two Ipsen furnace types which are, more than any others, used in industrial heat treatment: atmosphere and vacuum furnaces. When heat treating large workpiece batches, Ipsen Atmosphere furnaces are used. Carburisation, carbon nitriding, bright hardening and carbon-free bright annealing take place in an atmosphere in which the carbon content is regulated. All tempering processes are controlled using the Ipsen Carbon Sensor® and computer-based measurement and control system. By contrast, heat treatment of high alloy steels with lower batch numbers is carried out in Ipsen vacuum furnaces. The transformation of the material grain under vacuum as well as the subsequent quenching in pure nitrogen guarantees a bright workpiece surface. Moulds and dies, precision aerospace parts, medical technology parts and corrosion-resistant stainless steels are amongst the parts most frequently treated in vacuum furnaces. In this field, the Turboh2 Treater® is the latest development from Ipsen. It stands out thanks to its highest possible efficiency, the uniform treatment achieved and the minimal use of resources. Using AutoMag® production software, furnaces, washing machines, transport, loading and unloading equipment are chained together in a fully automatic, open system which can operate as a quasi-continuous system and thus can be optimally integrated into every manufacturing flow. The entire heat treatment range. The Turbo h2 Treater – vacuum furnace with high quench speed and uniform cooling. Multi Treater – evacuable retort furnace with suspended batch table for a charge up to 5 tons for inert gas heat treatments. VR/VRK – universal vertical vacuum over with radial and vertical cooling gas circulation. TQ – gas-tight atmosphere furnace with heating chamber and integral double-walled oil quench bath. RTQ – atmosphere furnace with gas-tight heating chamber and integral double-walled oil quench bath. TQ-2 – atmosphere furnace with gas-tight heating chamber and integral double-walled oil quench bath.
