EFD Induction Inc., Madison Heights, Mich., announces that a global supplier of engine, steering, and chassis components has selected a HardLine VM 500EFD furnace for hardening balance shafts. The vertical hardening system, which will be installed at a plant in Pune, India, is powered by a Sinac 60/80 generator. The machine also features a CNC-based control system and a closed-loop cooling system.
HardLine is our range of stationary heat treatment systems for surface- and through-hardening. The HardLine family includes vertical, horizontal centerless and customized machines—and serial and/or parallel compensated induction power sources with a wide range of output power and frequencies
“Balance shafts are subjected to extreme conditions,” says Kiran Deyannavar of EFD Induction India. “The hardening process for this critical component must satisfy stringent quality standards.”
The company has to date installed thousands of heating solutions for a vast range of industrial applications—bringing the benefits of induction technology to many of the world’s leading manufacturing and service companies. EFD Induction has manufacturing plants, workshops, and service centers in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
