CrankPro® Induction Heating System for Crankshafts

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.

Key Features and Benefits:

SHarP-C™ Technology: Stationary hardening process for crankshafts, reducing floor space and simplifying operation.
Efficiency: Short heat times of less than 3 seconds, allowing production rates of up to 120 parts per hour.
Robust Coil Design: CNC machined from a solid copper block, eliminating distortion and extending coil life.
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 and Reliable Coils: The CNC machined copper coils are more robust and reliable, reducing the risk of mechanical failure.
Superior Control of Case Depth Hardening: Advanced coil design allows for precise control of hardness profiles, preventing localized overheating and potential cracking.
Improved Metallurgical Properties: Short heating times enhance the metallurgical properties by reducing grain growth and oxidation.

CrankPro® Induction Heating System for Crankshafts-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. 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.
