Seco Warwick, Meadville, Pa., has received orders for a CaseMaster Evolution multi-chamber vacuum furnace with oil quench, and a Vector 15-Bar high-pressure gas quench vacuum furnace, from a machine tool manufacturer.
The company bought the equipment to bring its heat treating processes in-house, rather than continue to outsource them. Engineers decided to set up their own department, invest in new vacuum heat treat equipment, and train their production technicians to execute this critical function.
The CaseMaster Evolution (CMe), is a multi-chamber carburizing furnace with integral gas or oil quench. The Vector single chamber high pressure gas quench vacuum furnace is capable of quench pressures up to 15 Bar, and can accomplish a variety of heat treat processes, making it a flexible workhorse and optimizing its value.
All the necessary auxiliary equipment, such as chilling water storage and pumping, were included in the package. As part of the sale, Seco Warwick will create and deliver process recipes for the customer to make the transition to in-house heat treatment as painless and efficient as possible.
