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-950 conveyor oven system cures powder paint on automotive disc brake pads. Painted pads exit the paint spray systems and are placed on the cure oven belt by pick and place. In order to reduce the conveyor oven’s length, multiple parts are placed across the width of the cure oven belt. Painted parts pass under an infrared heating system for cure, and are cooled with forced air prior to exit from the system. The IR panels are adjustable in height from the product to provide variation of the intensity of the heat being applied, working in conjunction with the heat controls to provide proper curing conditions.
