CrankPro® Induction Heat Treating System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The CrankPro® Induction Heat Treating System is designed for non-rotational induction heat treating of crankshafts and camshafts. It utilizes the patented SharP-C™ technology, which eliminates the need for rotation of the crankshaft and movement of the inductor during heating and quenching cycles. This stationary heating method offers several benefits, including reduced floor space, simple operation, and minimal part distortion.
Features and Benefits:
  • SHarP-C™ Technology: Stationary hardening process for crankshafts.
  • Efficiency: Short heat times of less than 3 seconds, allowing production rates of up to 120 parts per hour.
  • Durability: Robust one-piece CNC machined block coil with no brazing, extending coil life significantly.
  • Precision: Coils are CNC machined, certified, and pinned in place with no adjustment necessary.
  • Design: One moving part and stationary crank, with overhead gantry service.
  • Low Distortion: Observed distortion ranges from 0 to 45 microns, with minimal part growth.
  • Flexibility: Convertible for I4, V6, and V8 engines.
  • Maintenance: Can be performed from outside the machine or offline.
Technical Advantages:
  • Robust Coil Design: Induction coils are CNC machined from a solid copper block, eliminating inductor distortion and hardness pattern drift.
  • Improved Metallurgical Properties: Short heating times reduce grain growth, decarburization, and oxidation, resulting in a clearly defined hardened zone.
  • Superior Control: Advanced coil design allows for excellent control of case depth hardening, preventing localized under-heating or over-heating.
  • Safety: The design decreases induced power density in critical areas, reducing the risk of crack initiation or local melting.

CrankPro® Induction Heat Treating System-1

CrankPro® Induction Heat Treating System Non-Rotational Induction Heat Treating for Crankshafts and Camshafts Flexible Crankshaft Heating Solution CrankPro® systems utilize patented technology, SharP-C™ which eliminates the rotation of the crankshaft and movement of the inductor during heating and quenching cycles. This stationary heating method provides several practical and technical benefits; reduced floor space, simple operation, robust machined coil, low part distortion and minimal part growth. Features/Benefits: • SHarP-C™ Technology (Stationary Hardening Process for Crankshafts). • Short Heat times < 3 Sec. Production rates of up to 120 parts/ hour. • Robust one piece CNC machined block coil with no brazing extends coil life significantly. • Coils are CNC machined, certified and pinned in place with no adjustment necessary. • One moving part and stationary crank. • Over head gantry service. • Low distortion from 0 - 45 microns max has been observed in production and minimal part growth. • In process induction tempering. • Less wasted heat and reduced floor space. • Convertible I4 / V6 / V8. • Maintenance from outside machine/offline. CrankPro® system with gantry part handling Robust & Reliable Machined Coil Induction coils are much more robust and rigid, being CNC machined from a solid copper block without any brazed parts. This eliminates inductor distortion and hardness pattern drift. There are far fewer components involved in the novel coil design, meaning higher reliability and longer coil life because of the smaller numbers of mechanical features that could otherwise go wrong. Robust, CNC machined copper coil For more information, call 800/624-6297, email: [email protected] or visit www.inductoheat.com

The hardened zone is clearly defined and “crisp” without the “fuzzy transition zone” that is present when longer heat times are utilized. The case depth consists of fine grain martensitic...
