Innovations

SiC technology power supplies

Energy efficiency and ruggedness.

GH power supplies combine Silicon Carbide (SiC) cutting edge technology with rugged construction for the ultimate in durability and versatility [5,400] kHz. State-of-the-art Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductor materials are used to increase energy efficiency, high power density, bandwidth, and resistance to voltage and temperature.

Rotative Inductor

Optimisation of investment and energy savings.

The rotating inductor is an innovative and unique system in which the inductor turns, and the workpiece is fixed. In this way, the machines are mechanically simplified in an extraordinary way, and the heating is more homogeneous. Thus, the investment is reduced, and the energy consumption is reduced.

Premium Stress Relief

Total heating control homogeneity in swagged tube ends, no matter of soaking time. Unique solution in the market.

Optima Service

You get the best process with the shortest possible lead time. This service improves your heat treatment during your asset life combining 3D induction heating simulations and 3D printed inductors.

IPM 4.0

Production quality and traceability are two of the most important aspects of any manufacturing process. As such, IPM (Induction Process Monitoring) is a mandatory digital system to ensure the quality of the process, comply with ISO/TS 16949 and CQI-9 standards. It is based on a 100% control over the treated parts; and on real-time measurements of the parameters involved in the treatment.

ConnectAR service

ConnectAR is a remote assistance service. It improves productivity, reduces downtime, and makes technical problem identification easier by allowing instant live feedback in our video calls.
