Thermal Processing Magazine Information

We are an engineering company, but we only sell engineering when it's coupled with our equipment. We have extensive R&D activities in our three manufacturing centers worldwide, and we have a full staff of engineers with expertise in heat transfer, mechanics, electronics, and metallurgy so that we can use the modern tools of engineering to provide these services for our customers. Product development is another service we provide, and our in-house products include a variety of processes and equipment to help serve customers better. Over the last several years we have had active development projects in jet heating, short cycle solution heat-treating, multi-chamber vacuum carburizing systems, and cooling with hydrogen. The success of these products has been tied very heavily to the affiliation we have with technical universities around the world, including those in the United States, Poland, Russia, and Germany. Field service and technical support are also critical. With over 10,000 systems operating worldwide, many of our customers call upon us to "sure up" their operating and maintenance staffs. Things like remote communications gives us the ability to monitor the operation of temperature control systems found anywhere in the world on our electrical engineers' computers. The rebuild, repair, and relocation of older equipment is also a significant part of our capabilities and our present business. Upgrading combustion systems, improving electrical heating systems, and the revisions in control systems to take advantage of the revolutionary changes that have come in this field all feed strongly into our field service and technical support.
