Non-rotational induction heat treating for crankshafts

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; .

Stationary Method Benefits vs Traditional Rotational Problems

• Stationary: Virtually no distortion — 0 - 45 microns max.
  Traditional: Part growth and distortion, due to longe heat times.
  
• Stationary: Short Heat times — < 3 sec. Production rates up to 120 parts/hour.
  Traditional: 8+ sec heat times
  
• Stationary: Robust CNC machined block coil. In coil temper - No moving powered parts
  Traditional: Brazed joints. Carbide spacers. Shorter tool life.
  
• Stationary: Reduced Floor Space — Modular, common base. Can Switch pallets for I4 / V6 / V8.
  Traditional: 75% larger line size including: hardening, water sytems, temper oven, straightening and grinding
  
• Stationary: High surface compressive stresses - Dramatic reduction of scale and surface decarburization
  Traditional: Needs post grinding and straightening
