The thermal joining processes of EMAG are used to produce extremely precise components for powertrains. The process is also ideal for workpieces that will be subjected to high torques and dynamic loads. Custom solutions are always our focus when developing joining machines. Thermal joining technologies enable significant reductions in component weight and a very high functional density.
Joining with the SFC 600 joining machine uses thermal, force-free processes
The SFC 600 is a highly productive joining machine for a variety of applications, e.g. joining small drive shafts or cam shafts. The fully NC-operated high-speed joining axis ensures rapid processes.
Combined with generators and heating systems developed by EMAG eldec, the SFC 600 provides the full technical process chain for heating and joining from a single source.
The flexible design of the joining system enables the use of the SFC 600 in a wide variety of production scenarios, from manual loading to fully automated line production.
Joining cam shafts using the SFC 600 joining machine
For more than 20 years, EMAG Automation has been developing its patented thermal joining technology: The cam is expanded by induction heating so that it can be positioned force-free on the shaft. This is always done at a temperature that is precisely matched to the material and the geometry. The shrinking process starts by targeted cooling. The final result is a force-fitted lateral press assembly. The new SFC 600 joining system opens up new possibilities for this technology – thermal joining of cam shafts up to 600 millimeters in length is becoming even faster and more flexible.
