KSO 1200/1,2-A30 Compact Mid-frequency Heater, Power Class 1200 kW

This heater is designed for the induction heating of round (cross-sectionally) steel billets to forging temperatures.  It is designed for manual placement of the billets with the ability to place more billets at one time into the angled feed chute.  From the angled chute, billets are presented to the electromechanical linear actuator via an angled conveyor.  Heater controls are handled by an Siemens programmable logic controller (PLC). The temperature of each heated piece is measured with a non-contact pyrometer and the time/date stamp and temperature value can be saved to the PLC memory.  Furthermore, the heater is installed with a output conveyor that leads to a hot billet sorter that will re-direct improperly heated pieces (overheated or underheated) to prevent them from continuing on to the press. The operator interfaces with the induction heater using the control panel which includes push-buttons and an interactive PLC display. The heater parameters (desired temperature, power level, temperature ranges, employee login, etc) are all set on the PLC display. This same display also communicates any faults in the induction heating system to the operator.
