CAN-ENG Furnaces International Limited has been contracted by a European leader in the design and development of Light Weighting Thin Walled Automotive Structural Castings to design, manufacture and commission an automated T7 Heat Treatment System for the processing of high integrity aluminum automotive structural castings. CAN-ENG’s Design was chosen for this new facility as it offers inherent part handling features which reduce floor space requirements and energy consumption while providing predictable mechanical properties and dimensional stability of the casting.
CAN-ENG is a global expert in thermal processing solutions for high pressure die castings (HPDC) and aluminum automotive structural components. The high volume continuous line includes integrated handling systems connected to up/down stream processes. The T-7 system integrates robotic handling, Solution Furnace with CAN-ENG’s Precision Air Quench (PAQ TM) technology, artificial aging system and controls integrating Level II SCADA system. CAN-ENG’s PAQTM system integrates a unique combination of features that have been developed through continuous system improvements and modeling carried out in the over twenty similar systems commissioned in recent years. CAN-ENG’s PAQTM system uniformly delivers controlled quenching processes that provide repeatable and uniform mechanical properties and accurate dimensional results. The system is scheduled to be delivered and commissioned to the EU in third quarter of 2017.
