Tunnel-Type
Induction
Part Feeding
and
Discharge Systems
It is designed to ensure the continuous and rapid heating of metal
parts in a series and their automatic discharge after processing,
enhancing efficiency and continuity in production processes.
The machine to be integrated is specially designed according
to the shape and quantity of the parts to be transported.
General Features
Automatic Part Feeding and Discharge: The tunnel-based structure enables continuous feeding of parts into the induction zone and automatic transfer to the discharge section after processing. Ideal for uninterrupted production.
Full Integration With Induction Heating Systems: Perfectly compatible with induction hardening, heat treatment, tempering, and surface heating processes. Synchronizes part flow with machine cycle times.
High Thermal Resistance: The tunnel frame is built with heat-resistant materials. Even at elevated part temperatures, the mechanical integrity remains unaffected.
Precision Feeding Control: Servo motors, sensors, and speed controllers ensure that part movement is precise and consistent. Each piece is positioned accurately in the processing area.
Energy-Efficient Design: Low-friction components and optimized motor power enable reduced energy consumption during long production cycles.
Advanced Safety and Monitoring:
Equipped with: Temperature sensors
Position sensors
Emergency stop units
Jam detection systems
for maximum operational safety.
Heavy-Duty Mechanical Structure: High-strength rollers, chain conveyors, or heat-resistant transport mechanisms are used to handle continuous high-volume production.
Compatible With Various Part Types: Suitable for shafts, gears, rings, bearings, flanges, and similar components. Custom tunnel geometry is available for special part types.
Minimal Operator Intervention: Fully automated operation minimizes human involvement and reduces error rates in the production process.

Tunnel-Type Induction Part Feeding and Discharge Systems
-
How does the system work?Parts are placed into the loading hopper and transported through the tunnel via servo-controlled feeding mechanisms. After induction processing, parts are transferred automatically to the discharge section.
-
Which part types are compatible with the system?Compatible with shafts, gears, rings, bushings, flanges, cylindrical components, and all metal parts requiring induction heat treatment. Custom tunnel and conveyor designs can be made for special geometries.
-
Is the system heat-resistant?Yes. The tunnel body, rollers, and transport mechanisms are built with high-temperature-resistant materials. Hot parts exiting induction zones do not damage the system.
-
Can the feeding speed be adjusted?Yes. Servo and PLC-controlled architecture allows precise feeding speed adjustments based on part density and process cycle times.
-
Can it synchronize with induction machines?Absolutely. The system automatically matches the cycle time of the induction heater or hardening machine.
-
What happens if parts jam or misalign?Position sensors and jam detection mechanisms stop the system automatically and notify the operator, protecting both equipment and components.
-
Is maintenance difficult?No. It requires minimal maintenance—mainly lubrication, conveyor surface cleaning, and periodic sensor inspection.
-
Can it handle different part sizes simultaneously?It can handle parts with similar dimensions. If size differences are large, separate feeding channels or adjustable guide systems may be required.
