DTI-392 Product Development Curing Oven
Customer directive
Our customer wanted to create an indexing single part flow inert atmosphere production furnace system to match, and seamlessly integrate into, the customer’s entire existing manufacturing process at a production rate of 45 seconds part to part. The customer’s then existing process included inefficient batch furnace staging of parts at this point in the process.
Description
The DTI-392 industrial oven is used to develop curing processes for brake pads in the automotive industry. This custom oven is designed to simulate the process used in an indexing or continuous flow conveyor oven. This oven utilizes a rack made up of structural steel and a flat wire conveyor belt, which simulates the conveying system used in the production oven. The rack is driven by an electric motor to oscillate in the heated chamber during the process. The oscillation speed is variable, enabling the system to emulate different curing cycles and dwell times. The temperature is also variable to enable the simulation of independent zones of heat.
