Seco/Warwick has delivered and commissioned the first-ever vacuum purging semi-continuous Active Only® CAB furnace for a North American automotive aftermarket manufacturer. It is their first furnace of any type and simultaneously their largest capital equipment investment to date.
The new semi-continuous Active Only® CAB furnace, equipped with vacuum purging in the loading and unloading chamber, is one of its kind in the industry. It allows forreduction of nitrogen consumption and cost, and it provides extraordinary control of brazing atmosphere quality. This applies in particular to heat exchangers with joints brazed in a closed space. Vacuum purging allows for the perfect removal of oxygen from these spaces before brazing, which cannot be achieved by traditional purging. Many business owners are starting to figure out that not all services should be outsourced. One such industry group is automotive aftermarket manufacturers, who, with Seco/Warwick technology, gain an opportunity to reign in their costs by saving money on outsourcing as well as reduction of nitrogen expenses. The new furnace allows customers to braze their own heat exchangers, control their own quality, and manage their production schedules more reliably to improve deliveries to their customers. Bringing previously outsourced services in-house is always a big undertaking. By offering world-class technologies and support, Seco/Warwick helps companies successfully go through such projects, to grow and gain more confidence in their capabilities.

Der Wirtschaftsverband Stahl- und Metallverarbeitung (WSM) fordert konkrete Sofortmaßnahmen zur Stärkung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit: Aussetzung des nationalen CO2-Preises für die Industrie und Abschaffung des Solidaritätszuschlags. „Wir müssen raus aus dem Jammertal, rauf auf den Lösungsweg”, betont WSM-Hauptgeschäftsführer Christian Vietmeyer. Beide Maßnahmen seien kurzfristig umsetzbar und würden 2026 direkt wirken.

KI-gesteuerter autonomer Schleifroboter beschleunigt das Entgraten dicker Blechteile

Dank des EasyGrinder konnte Minerd & Sons die Lieferzeit von zwei Wochen auf nur drei Tage verkürzen – ein Durchbruch in Produktivität und Lieferzuverlässigkeit. Das führende regionale Stahlservicezentrum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, hat die Endbearbeitung von plasma- und autogengeschnittenen Blechteilen durch den Einsatz des EasyGrinder, dem autonomen Schleifroboter von Teqram, deutlich beschleunigt. Das System bearbeitet dicke Bleche vollautomatisch, ohne Programmierung oder Teaching, und liefert gleichbleibende Qualität bei deutlich höherem Durchsatz.
