Ipsen, Cherry Valley, Ill., reports that a Midwest commercial heat treater recently purchased an Atlas atmosphere furnace for several processes, including carburizing, neutral hardening, and carbonitriding, as well as to help the company further increase its capabilities and product offerings.
The Atlas furnace features a 36 x 48 x 38-inch load size, with a 3500-pound load capacity. It operates at temperatures of 1450 to 1800°F and has a quench oil capacity of 3500 gallons. Equipped with Ipsen’s newest design features and innovations, the Atlas is configured for maximum compatibility and to consistently produce quality parts. Featuring variable-speed quench agitation, users are able to achieve and maintain better quenching control, which in turn, results in minimized distortion and high part quality.
Benefits include the ability to integrate into existing furnace lines and fit into existing pits; a flexible design that conveniently positions components so as to maximize the use of floor space; and energy-efficient operation thanks to the utilization of Ipsen’s Recon III Burners, single-ended radiant tubes, tight door seals, insulation, and intuitive controls. Intuitive Carb-o-Prof controls software allows users to gain ultimate control over the process while also saving valuable time and resources.
