POST-INDUCTION TEMPERING OF AXLE SHAFTS

Axle Shafts are another great example of precision tempering. Three systems installed with two global manufacturers, producing over 1 million axle shafts annually. In one example, a mezzanine mounted monorail trolley conveyor tempering furnace at 100-minutes cycle time and 350 parts in-process was replaced with a floor mounted 20-minute tempering process with only 70 parts in-process.

Pyro Process
- 20 min cycle time
- 70 parts in process

Conventional Process
- 100 min cycle time
- 350 parts in process
