The optimal solution for the highest speed during press hardening combines an automation system with a high-speed transfer (Twin-feeder), integrating an in-line roller kiln with the press.
The furnace and press are positioned at a 90º angle relative to each other, which allows the advantages of the transfer handling system to be fully exploited. In this way, we at FAGOR ARRASATE achieve the highest production rates in the market for this technology. In addition, other characteristics that define us are:
Turnkey installations: All the elements of the installation are designed by us: the destacker, the press, and the press loading/unloading automatic features. We also take care of the integration of all components, including the furnace.
Process monitoring: Since it is especially critical to monitor all the process variables that potentially affect part quality, at FAGOR ARRASATE we monitor, centralise and store the data offered by the installation (temperature, force, time, flow rates, etc.) in such a way that it allows both optimisation of production and assurance of part quality.
Complete value chain: FAGOR ARRASATE’s process knowledge is aimed at ensuring that the overall cost of operating the line is as low as possible, combining the value of the investment in equipment, space occupied, energy costs, productivity and other elements to define globally profitable solutions.
