KS98-2 Controller in Heat Treating Equipment
Nov 28, 2022
Heat treating is a vital process in manufacturing. By altering the temperature of metals, we can modify their properties, durability, and performance. To consistently achieve the desired results, the metal being worked on must be held to the most precise standards, two of which are the time required to heat/cool the metal, as well as the temperature at which the metal needs to be maintained.
Challenge
Be able to reliably and repeatedly perform the heating and cooling of a metal to get the desired performance and durability.
Solution
KS98-2 for Precise Temperature Control
The KS98-2 was designed with multiple loop controls built in, as well as the ability to quickly respond to temperature fluctuations to ensure the properties of the material being worked on are within specified parameters. This allows the user to set up recipes for repeatable processes with predefined temperatures or times, or use the manual setup for greater flexibility. The modularity of the system allows for a diverse range of inputs from varying sensors, making this a manufacturer-agnostic device. Utilizing this controller allows for minimized cycle times due to the accuracy in monitoring, resulting in more cycles that can be performed and yielding higher productivity. This higher productivity directly corresponds to increased cost savings.
