Induction Forging Machine

Induction forging process is energy efficient, rapid / instant heating process as it provides superior productivity, consistent quality, flexibility and reliability. 

VEL ForgeTech series is specially designed and manufactured for heating metal in forging, rolling, stamping extrusion, upsetting and other forming applications to obtain desired shape in Presses, Bending Machines, Forming machines, etc on turnkey basis. They are designed to heat any dimension of billets, bars, blocks, slabs etc in full or partially in materials as diverse as Steel, Stainless Steel, Brass, Bronze, Aluminium, Copper, Titanium, Silver, etc and their alloys

INDUCTION HEATING POWER SOURCE

Induction Heater , Thyristor / IGBT based, of varying power capacities ranging from 400 kW to 1600 kW consisting of Inverter modules auto tuned to Resonant Frequency ranging from 1 to 20kHz, incorporating Microcontroller (µC) based electronic controls, Protection/Trip circuits, Interlocks etc, Output Matching Transformer, Inductor Assemblies etc.

CONTROL AND FEEDBACK SYSTEM

PLC based control system & SCADA for automated system & process. All alarms generated and machine / process parameters  displayed / controlled from HMI on Control Panel / SCADA.

Non-contact pyrometers are used to measure the part temperature to achieve precision temperature control, to maintain temperature consistency, feedback for hold modes, option to reject job for over/under job temperatures etc.

HEATING STATION

The induction coil is completely contained within the steel shell and is isolated from the job with a refractory coating. There is no chance of hot slag or other materials from the furnace contaminating the room. 

LOADING/ UNLOADING & FEEDING SYSTEM

Semi-Automated/ Fully Automated job loading/unloading facility are available, such as Vibratory, magazine, step, or bowl feeders, V-flight and other conveyor feeders to move billets into drive position, Pneumatic or hydraulic horizontal pusher, tractor drive, pinch roller drive or walking beam arrangement for moving job through the inductor, High-speed conveyors to rapidly deliver the hot job to press operator or robot pick up point, etc
