Third Integrated Robotics Vacuum Furnace System by ECM for Increasing Heat Treat Automation Demands
ECM USA has partnered with the prominent global manufacturer, SEW-EURODRIVE, to commission a modular NANO vacuum furnace system completely integrated with advanced automation for their Lyman, South Carolina facility. It is the third ECM NANO system with integrated robotics and advanced capabilities for the US heat treat market within the last two years. This 6-chamber, 20-bar quench NANO vacuum furnace system provides maximum flexibility and integration utilizing the addition of 16 tempering positions, advanced solvent-based washer (both oil and water-based contaminants), and robotic workload assembly/disassembly.
Lehigh’s Summer Engineering Institute Students Tour at Solar Atmospheres
Solar Atmospheres hosted over 40 high school students enrolled in the Summer Engineering Institute (SEI) at Lehigh University. Under the guidance of Director Dr. Laura Moyer, the SEI program is a two-week residential program, running two back-to-back sessions. The students experienced a manufacturing setting encompassing related topics from their curriculum, gaining a better understanding of heat treating and manufacturing, and how cutting-edge technology reshapes centuries-old processes.

Solar Atmospheres Now Offers Oil Quenching Capabilities
Solar Atmospheres provides low pressure carburizing (LPC) in vacuum to increase the surface hardness/strength of gearing for improved friction and wear. LPC delivers clean parts with less distortion reducing post process finishing operations, and costs. For lower hardenability alloys and/or to attain higher core hardness on gears, Solar now offers vacuum oil quenching!

Zero Carbon Target?
Induction is an eco-friendly heating method, as it does not generate carbon during the heating process. The electrification of the automobile and the manufacturing goal of a zero-carbon target process makes induction the perfect solution for heat treating, tempering, brazing, forging, and shrink fitting.
