4D Quench \u2013 is a\u00a0vacuum heat treatment system<\/a> solution for individual quenching<\/strong> of component parts such as\u00a0gears, shafts, bearing races, rings, selves, etc. made of standard or\u00a0custom case and through hardening steels<\/strong>. The system operates under nitrogen. It provides excellent distortion control and notably increases precision and repeatability of heat treatment<\/a> while reducing unit and overall production costs.<\/p>\n \/<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0It notably increases precision and repeatability of heat treatment results and reduces production costs<\/p>\n \/<\/span><\/strong> It provides vacuum heating following by\u00a0powerful and uniform nitrogen quenching<\/strong> resulting in\u00a0distortion control & reduction with high repeatability of final results.<\/p>\n \/<\/span><\/strong> The system is fully automated and easily integrated with in-line production.<\/p>\n \/<\/span><\/strong> It\u2019s a\u00a0modern and attractive alternative to\u00a0hardening in\u00a0a\u00a0press, eliminating all its disadvantages.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_tabs module_class=”red-tabs eco-tab7″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ custom_css_main_element=”margin-top: 2rem;||margin-bottom: 2rem;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_tab title=”Overview” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n 4D Quench is dedicated to these who wants to significantly increase production quality and economy of mechanical transmission components compared to batches or continuous heat treatment systems as well as to eliminate press quenching<\/strong>, press hardening<\/strong>, and their disadvantages.<\/span>.<\/p>\n The system consists of a\u00a0vacuum heating chamber<\/strong> and a\u00a0high pressure nitrogen quench chamber equipped with transportation mechanisms. Parts are heated up to\u00a0hardening temperature in\u00a0the heating chamber under vacuum, which protects the part\u2019s surface against oxidation or\u00a0other unwanted metallurgical changes. The quenching process provides unique and significant improvements related to\u00a0the reduction of distortion. This is done primarily using a\u00a0high-pressure gas quenching<\/strong> system installed in\u00a0the quenching\/unloading chamber. The system utilizes a\u00a0proprietary arrangement of cooling nozzles that surround the part to\u00a0ensures a\u00a0uniform flow of cooling gas ffrom all sizes, as\u00a0well as\u00a0the top and bottom. We\u00a0refer to\u00a0this as\u00a0\u201c3D\u201d cooling. In\u00a0addition, a\u00a0table spins the part, further enhancing quench uniformity. We\u00a0refer to\u00a0the spinning motion\u00a0adequately as\u00a0the fourth dimension, allowing us to\u00a0\u201c4D\u201d quench parts for the best possible uniformity. The cooling nozzles pattern can be\u00a0adequately adjusted to\u00a0fit the particular parts size and shape. The entire nitrogen cooling system rovides the equivalent of an oil quench with more uniform cooling, which results in\u00a0absolute repeatability, reduces distortion and allows for highly repeatable results. Oil or\u00a0specialized gases such as\u00a0helium are not required. Neither oil nor helium is needed anymore.<\/p>\n The single piece-flow<\/strong> method, while parts are passing through heat treatment one by\u00a0one, enables full integration into manufacturing cells and in-line production, alongside of CNC machines. It eliminates heat treatment fixtures, material logistic cost and time as\u00a0well as\u00a0shortens production cycle. Moreover, repeatability of quenching results and distortion control and reduction provides great potential for reduction of hard machining costs.<\/p>\n In\u00a0addition, every single part is monitored and reported during heat treated, which provides 100 % traceability and quality control. The system and applied technology is safe, clean and environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Features” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \/<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>Individual hardening by heating under vacuum and high-pressure nitrogen quenching [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Advantages” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \/<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Control and reduction of hardening distortion [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Parts” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]\/<\/strong><\/span> Mechanical transmission components (gears, rings, shafts, sleeves, etc.)[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Technologies” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]\/<\/strong><\/span> Bright hardening (High Pressure Gas Quench)[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Industries” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \/<\/span><\/strong> Automotive [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Materials” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \/<\/strong> <\/span>Regular carburizing or through hardening (in oil) grades [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=” ” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \/<\/span><\/strong><\/span> Many times less hard machining time [\/et_pb_tab][\/et_pb_tabs][et_pb_code admin_label=”Code” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”123774″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”] PREMIUM LIBRARY<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”R&D en” module_class=”product_widget_wrap_rd” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_module=”167835″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n R&D<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”AUTOMATYKA en” module_class=”product_widget_wrap_automation” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”167846″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n AUTOMATION<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”SERVICE EN” module_class=”product_widget_wrap_service” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”167859″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n SERVICE<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”SUPLEMENTALS EN” module_class=”product_widget_wrap_supleme” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”167809″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n SUPPLEMENTALS:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Product brochure” module_class=”suplementals_product_brochure suplementals_wrap” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Product brochure<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Product catalogue vac en” module_class=”suplementals_product_catalogue suplementals_wrap” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”169566″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Product catalogue<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Product movie playlist en” module_class=”suplementals_product_movie suplementals_wrap” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”169564″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Product video<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Product infographic” module_class=”suplementals_product_infographic suplementals_wrap” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Product infographic<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”dnabook-en” module_class=”suplementals_product_dna suplementals_wrap” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”167873″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n DNA\/BOOK<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”ECO\/BOOK-en” module_class=”suplementals_product_eco suplementals_wrap” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”165507″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
