What factors should be considered when choosing induction heating quenching equipment?
What factors should be considered when choosing induction heating quenching equipment?
1. The initial investment cost is based on the needs of the production product, and the appropriate power supply and frequency are selected from the perspective of energy saving. The automation degree and load rate of the quenching machine tool should be adapted to the product productivity. For example, the machine tool control system can choose PLC, industrial computer or The price of CNC control is also different.
2. Operating costs For intermediate frequency power supplies, the frequency conversion efficiency is an important factor. The vacuum tube type high frequency power supply has low conversion efficiency and high operating cost. The efficiency of main accessories such as quenching transformers and water consumption are related to operating costs. This is even more important for long-term uninterrupted steel wire and steel wire production lines.
3. Reliability and maintenance costs The failure rate of the equipment is low, and it is the most important to ensure that the production does not stop. The maintainability of the equipment is related to the design of the equipment. Therefore, the fault self-diagnosis level of the equipment should be the focus of consideration, and equipment with good quality components should be selected first.
4. The flexibility (also called flexible) whether the intermediate frequency power supply can adapt to different loads, the versatility of the quenching machine tool, or the ability to make similar products with a little adjustment, should be considered, because a complete set of equipment with flexibility can be used for the development of new products.
