We provide control system upgrades for vacuum heat treatment lines and equipment, ensuring full compatibility with existing treatmeny methods and operational workflows. The upgraded system integrates an intelligent process expert system, significantly enhancing control precision, workpiece processing quality, and overall working stability.

To meet the technical requirements for workpiece surface area during furnace loading, the process expert system incorporates a dedicated surface area calculation method and specialized software. The supplier is responsible for modeling and calculating the surface area based on the batch specifications of the buyer’s products and will provide the corresponding calculation methods and related software. The surface area of components is calculated using finite element modeling (FEM) or commercial design software to ensure accuracy. Additionally, we have established a customized surface area database tailored to user requirements, allowing for efficient and timely selection of appropriate processing parameters.

The process expert system supports both standard mechanical surface area calculations and finite element modeling (FEM) calculations to ensure precise measurement of component surface areas. Based on these calculations, the system can automatically adjust the carburizing gas flow rate according to the surface area, ensuring uniform and efficient carburizing results.
