PROTHERM 400

 

Main Features:

• Can hold up to 12 PID automatic control-loops to regulate process parameters such as temperature, furnace pressure as well as atmosphere parameters (e.g.: carbon potential, nitriding potential and oxygen potential—depending on the treatment type)
   

• Soft PID controllers within the device can be set-up in a cascade
   

• Load oriented treatments: real-time monitoring of jobs at all stages of the process
   

• All process parameters can be configured with alarm limits
   

• An optional online diffusion calculation (Protherm 400 Diff) provides the capability to control the process using the required target values (e.g.: case depth, surface carbon content)
   

• Process variables can be viewed and recorded with an integrated paperless chart recorder
   

• Up to 50 treatments can be created, modified and controlled
   

• Available in various languages
