Induction heater SOP 400/4-A30 P/L/T was reconstructed for INPO Ltd., Hošťálková and it is used for induction heating of steel billets with circular or square cross-section up to forging temperature. The aim of the reconstruction was the modernization of the original heater which was made in 1996.
The input container, clamp extractor and all components of the pneumatic system were completely changed. The heater was equipped with new safety elements to fit the current safety regulations.
The temperature of each piece is measured by a contactless thermometer and its value can be stored in PLC memory. The operator communicates with the heater by means of HMI panel where the operating heating parameters can be set. Also all failures of the heater are displayed in text on this panel.
