» N°1 automatic trolley
for the movement of the loads in the different units
» N°2 Supervisoring PC
for the management and storage of the formula of the warm chambers and the atmosphere of the furnaces. It is made of a computer and of a atmosphere analysing system with the device “Hartmann & Braun”.
The control of all the parameters of the atmosphere and the high degree of automation enable to eliminate the human error and to counterbalance the working anomalies of the treatment equipment. In this way it is guaranteed the quality and reproducibility of the process. The system is made of a software for the simulation of the treatment cycles to be applied on each single detail.
»N°1 Supervisoring PC
for the management of the formula of the working area and the automated car on which the various thermic treatment cycles are programmed and memorized with the subsequent working processing.
