The forge heating coil or billet heater is the first choice of heating in automated forging technology. These heating coils form a focus in our production. In addition to the calculation, development and production of new heating coils, we repair and modify all brands. All necessary work is carried out in our workshops, fast, accurate and reliable. Work and test instructions document every production step.

Advantages that convince:

• constant workpiece temperature
• minimal scale formation
• low wear on the dies
• compact design
• low pre warming times

Together with our customers, we develop, calculate and manufacture the heating coil adapted to the required heating task. In lightweight and heavy construction, with mica or concrete housing, with quick-change devices and inductor frame pre-assembled.

Sliding tubes or material guide tubes form an important element in the production chain. Water-cooled sliding tubes are a major disruptive factor in the event of wear-related leaks, and not infrequently the heating coils or the converter is damaged as well. The sliding tubes are automatically coated in our workshop and delivered ready for installation. After drawing or sample we manufacture for all manufacturers and building types. Upon request, the pipes are drawn and receive a customer - specific order number, so that the replacement part can be reordered easily. The used high - temperature resistant stainless steels are tested batch by batch, each sliding pipe receives a test certificate with pressure test and target - actual water flow rate.

Lifting beams of lift-forged forging plants are subjected to enormous loads. The materials of the milled lifting jacks and the tubes are matched and welded consistently clean. After drawing or sample we manufacture for all manufacturers and building types. Upon request, the lifting bars are drawn and receive a customer-specific order number, so that spare parts procurement is possible without any problems. The high-temperature-resistant stainless steels used are tested in batches, each lifting beam receives a test certificate with pressure test and water flow rate.

The brazing inductor is the modern way to produce brazing joints safely and homogeneously in reproducible quality. Advantages of the inductive brazing methods are compared to brazing with the flame both in the possibility of automation, as well as by selectively metered heat input with compact brazing inductors difficult to access brazing processes. The inductors look inconspicuous at first glance, but they are exposed to extreme loads. Short circuits due to deformed workpieces and incorrect operation must not cause damage to the brazing peripherals and the converters. Special coatings and the use of concentrators form energy-saving and material-sparing modifications. As a development partner, we manufacture both for the hand-held and for the automated brazing process.

Water-cooled transformers or throttles have long been considered as disposables. However, even in fully encapsulated execution, these are repairable in most cases, at a price that rarely exceeds 50% of the original value. The transformer cores and the potting are renewed, the copper coils prepared as new and possibly partially renewed. During the repair, modifications are carried out, so that a new-value transformer leaves our workshop according to the current state of the art, including a test certificate. In the event of a plant shutdown, we repair on customer request in multi-shift and on weekends.

Fully potted or massively wound, for repair or new production according to drawing or pattern:

• HF transformers
• MF transformers
• Disc transformers
• Deflection transformers (deflection coils)
• DC reactors
• Smoothing reactors

The customer demands for depth of hardness and hardness are subject to ever narrower tolerances. As a result, the choice of hardening temperature and an exact quenching process in automated quenching treatment are becoming more and more critical.

Our new generation of quenching showers combines many advantages:

• The used materials GRP and hard tissue are temperature-resistant, mechanically stable and easy to work with (of course we also manufacture conventional MS-showers on request)
• The construction is multi-part and thus easy to repair
• The purchase is not more expensive than one-piece showers
• The fiberglass middle section combines light construction with enormous durability, even under continuous load

The foundry's water-cooled crucible furnace combines short melting processes with low power losses. We repair, service and produce inductive furnace coils up to 2.5 t. Upon request, our assembly teams disassemble the defective oven, assemble the spare spool and transport the defective oven to our workshop. After the preparation and approval of a cost estimate, we repair professionally and store the spare spool on request. Short reaction times and experienced technicians ensure short downtimes and long service lives. The repair always follows the following pattern:

• Receiving inspection with recording of the actual dimensions     
• Determination of the claims expenditure     
• Creation of work and test instructions according to DIN ISO     
• If a complete repair is required, all components are removed and the copper coil is decoated in a thermal process and annealed in parallel stress-free     
• The copper coil is mechanically blasted bare, directed and the target values ​​checked     
• The copper coil is isolated according to manufacturer's standard and possibly wound with glass silk tape     
• The insulated coil is pressed to the desired height and clamped ready     
• Spool tensioners are tested, straightened or renewed and mounted     
• If desired, a glass fiber outer sheath for coil protection is introduced     
• An initial check is made with inspection of the insulation, the amount of cooling water and a pressure test of the cooling system, as well as all external dimensions and the position of the power - water connections

Mikanit stove protection plate, on request with exchangeable wear ring in the temperature and spray area. In the area of ​​the melting range, one of the most stressed parts is the cover plate. Our Mikanit stove top minimizes rebuild time and maximizes tool life. The principle is based on a double plate, consisting of a lower plate, screwed firmly to the furnace cover plate, and a wear ring with quick-change fitting. All materials are resistant to high temperatures. We manufacture according to your individual melting equipment and supply the wear rings at short notice if required.

Induction is often used when metals or steel are subjected to special stress and reach their physical limits. For example, when working with a laser or welding sheets, sections can be inductively preheated. Another special application for induction is common practice in the magnetic testing of steel. Here test coils are used in the component negative process with often complicated geometry, which we manufacture for existing systems. For these and many other applications, we supply you with complete solutions, on request incl. converter and recooling system, pre-assembled.
