Achieving consistent flame hardening results starts with precision.
Flame hardening offers durability and wear resistance, but without accurate temperature control, results can be inconsistent or even damaging. Discover how specialised 3.9µm infrared technology overcomes traditional measurement challenges by seeing through flames for precise surface temperature monitoring. With cost-effective, non-contact solutions, you can improve your hardening outcomes, reduce brittleness, and gain better process control.

The motorized size changeover of machine spindles or machine axes is now being implemented in various ways. The solutions to this are often relatively rudimentary and result in the fact that no handwheel or crank is rotated, with one or more buttons being pressed instead. Whether this meets the requirements of a smart process chain or Industry 4.0 is questionable. Intelligent positioning drives can be an efficient solution in such a case.
