The photo shows the hardening station of our horizontal hardening
and reheating machine for construction equipment shafts.
This machine automatically hardens mutiple types of shafts.

In the majority of our scan hardening machines, the workpiece is kept
stationary while the coil and power transformer unit moves,
a design technologically superior in general.

However, the shafts treated by this machine are relatively short.
To minimized cycle time, a horizontal scan design was chosen
with the focus on the loading/unloading speed of the shafts.

The workpiece is loaded horizontally by robot, then rolls along
the guide rail to the receive jig. After hardening, the workpiece
rolls along the unloading guide rail to the unloading station.
