ECM USA has partnered with global manufacturer SEW-EURODRIVE to commission a modular NANO vacuum furnace system completely integrated with advanced automation for their Lyman, South Carolina, facility. It is the third ECM NANO system with integrated robotics and advanced capabilities for the U.S. heat-treat market within the last two years.
The six-chamber, 20 bar quench NANO vacuum furnace system provides maximum flexibility and integration using the addition of 16 tempering positions, advanced solvent-based washer (both oil- and water-based contaminants), and robotic workload assembly/disassembly.
Dunnage management is also provided and fully automated within the robotics configuration. The system was specifically designed to run multiple materials (including carburized grades and tool steels) and has the modular flexibility to adapt to an increase in production for various load scenarios and processes.
SEW-EURODRIVE MOVITRANS® (SEW-EURODRIVE’s patented inductive energy power transfer supply system) will also be incorporated within ECM’s vacuum furnace transfer system.
As the industry demand for automated solutions grows, ECM meets new heat-treatment production expectations with innovative technology, highly efficient equipment, and superior service.
