Frequently Asked Questions – Vertical & Horizontal Induction Heating Machines
- What is the difference between vertical and horizontal induction heating machines?
Vertical machines are typically used for shafts, gears, and cylindrical components, while horizontal machines are ideal for long bars, tubes, pipes, and heavy workpieces.
- Which machine is suitable for shaft hardening?
Vertical induction heating machines are commonly preferred for shaft hardening because they provide precise scanning and quenching control.
- Can these machines be automated?
Yes. Both vertical and horizontal systems can be integrated with PLCs, CNC controls, servo drives, robotic loading, and automated quenching systems.
- What materials can be processed?
Carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, copper alloys, and other conductive metals can be processed using induction heating technology.
- What industries use these machines?
Automotive, aerospace, railway, heavy engineering, oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing industries widely use vertical and horizontal induction heating machines.
