DTI-1135 Vertical Oven Curing System
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-1135 vertical oven cures a coating on steel components used in the automotive industry. The coating is applied to the exterior surface of the parts and the parts are then loaded into the oven via a pick and place system that is part of the oven design.
Parts are conveyed through the oven on custom product trays, attached to oven class chain, that make up the conveying system. Multiple parts are loaded across the width of each product tray and index through the oven in a vertical orientation. The control system provides the ability to adjust the index time of the conveying system to provide varying dwell times in the heated chamber.
Once the curing cycle is complete the parts travel horizontally through a cooling section located below the heated chamber and are cooled to a temperature safe for unloading.
