Heat Treatment Furnace Industrial Router

　　Heat Treatment Furnace Industrial Router: Stable Connection and Precision Process Control in High-Temperature, Dusty Environments

　　Heat treatment plants (used for metals like steel and aluminum) face unique challenges: extreme ambient temperatures (furnace temperatures as high as 75°C), heavy metal dust (from grinding and quenching), mechanical vibration (from furnace door operation and conveyor systems), and the need for real-time synchronization of key process parameters (temperature profiles, heating/cooling rates, and hold times) between the heat treatment furnace and MES/ERP systems. Conventional routers are prone to failure in these conditions. Our heat treatment furnace industrial router is tailored for these demanding environments, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity, thereby maintaining process stability and reducing product defects.

　　Core Advantages: Tailored for Heat Treatment

　　1. High-Temperature and Dust-Proof

　　Its stable operation range is from -20°C to 80°C (covering both the low temperatures of winter workshops and the high temperatures near continuous annealing furnaces). Its heat-dissipating aluminum alloy housing effectively prevents overheating even when installed up to 3 meters from the furnace wall (with surface temperatures as high as 65°C). Meeting IP65 dust and water resistance standards, it effectively blocks metal dust (such as iron chips from quenching) and accidental coolant splashes, preventing short circuits and component wear caused by dust accumulation.

　　2. Precise Synchronization of Equipment Within the Furnace

　　Support for heat treatment-specific industrial protocols: Modbus RTU/TCP, Profinet, and EtherNet/IP, enabling seamless data exchange between the furnace temperature controller (such as a PID controller), the conveyor system PLC, and cooling unit sensors.

　　Synchronization latency is as low as 12 milliseconds, ensuring furnace temperature accuracy (±1°C) and consistent heating/cooling rates—critical for avoiding uneven hardness or material deformation in heat-treated parts (such as automotive gears and aerospace components).

　　3. Real-Time Process Data Transmission and Traceability

　　Key heat treatment data (temperature-time curve, furnace pressure, carburizing gas flow) is transmitted to the MES system in real time, meeting quality traceability requirements (such as IATF 16949 for automotive parts and AMS 2750 for aerospace). Integrated AES-256 data encryption and unalterable logs prevent process parameter tampering—critical for passing customer audits (e.g., BMW and Airbus).

　　4. Rugged and Remotely Maintainable

　　Passing IEC 60068-2 vibration tests (10-500Hz) and shock tests (30G), it can withstand vibrations generated by furnace door openings and conveyor operation, ensuring signal loss during extended production runs.

　　Support for cloud-based remote configuration, firmware updates, and fault diagnostics can reduce on-site maintenance by 65% (avoiding exposure to high temperatures and metal dust).

　　Typical Application Scenarios

　　Continuous Annealing Furnaces: Connecting to temperature sensors and tension controllers on conveyor lines ensures uniform annealing of metal strips (e.g., aluminum foil and steel plates), allowing for real-time adjustment of heating zones to minimize strip warpage.

　　Box Quenching Furnaces: Connecting to PID temperature controllers and quench tank level sensors transmits furnace temperature profiles and quenching times to the MES, ensuring consistent hardness of automotive parts (e.g., crankshafts and bearings). Carburizing furnace: Synchronize gas flow meters (methane, propane) and temperature recorders to upload carbon potential data to the control center to prevent under-carburization or over-carburization of high-strength gears.
