This product is a type of crankshaft quenching used in automobile engine parts.
Fuji Electronic Industry owns 80% of the share market in Japan with accumulated knowledge to challenge to new technologies.
Our crankshaft quenching is processed through a unique method called Elothrm method.
We have an established technique for the quench pattern (R quenching) which can be seen in this picture and will be glad to suggest applying to customer’s products.
The product shown in the picture is a cut sample of a small diameter precise ball screw.
The bottom (diagonally right) product has been processed using an ordinary quenching technique.
The top (center) product’s appearances are exactly as before processing.
However, inner portion is quenched completely.
As one can see, our “non-oxidation quenching” will not cause any scale as ordinary quenching.
This method requires no after treatment as shot blast.
In other words, scales and sands which can cause reduction of after treatment preciseness will not be problematic.
We sale high frequency induction heating machineries.
This machine will utilize the induction heating principle which has effects on improving surface hardness and improved wear resistant.

The single shot hardening system brings delivers high productivity and the line-coil adopted in on the system enables to make uniform hardened layers to be made on longitudinal work pieces, even on Sshafts with having different diameters.
In addition, and the temperature monitoring can be monitored duringthroughout all the heating time.
Our designed line coil heats up work pieces uniformly in spite regardless of its their shapes,while the conventional method is liableto get in to result in fault of overheating or / and less temperature insufficient heating due to the shapes of the work pieces.
This is resulted in delivers high precision dimensional performance.
Moreover, it never produces a barbers' bard mark by due to the separated heating and cooling section processes.
We, at Fuji Denshi, have created an advanced technology that uses coaxial leads for Tri-pod cup inner hardening.
This ensures high accuracy, with the differences in the dimensions of each pod in a lot being less than 20 microns after hardening.
Our proprietary rubber coil can adjust to various work pieces with varying hardening lengths. Rubber coils can heat different work pieces with differing hardening widths on one machine using one single-shot coil. The traditional scanning method was affected by factors such as process time and required high investment costs.
However, Fuji Denshi's rubber coils provide a solution to these shortfalls and allows for a simple transition.
Furthermore, this system results in the formation of an even hardening layer and low distortion which contributes to a dramatic increase in production rates, thereby harnessing the inherent strengths of induction hardening.
(Below is an illustration of a shaft gear / CGI of a rubber coil induction hardening )
Fuji Denshi has developed a spiral multi-turn coil using 3D modeling to heat treat the cup portion of ball joints. This system results in an ideal hardening pattern which precisely follows the geometry of the work piece. Moreover, Fuji Denshi avoids cracking and melting while preserving shock resistance by matching suitable concentrators.
Fuji Denshi is able to both harness and improve the mechanical properties of ball grooves, roller grooves and cross-groove universal joint grooves to their fullest.
The feature of this system is that the power is controlled according to the rotation angle of the work piece in order to make the hardened depth uniform all the way around.
This is Fuji Denshi's unique power reduction method and it contributes to the minimization of distortion.
Fuji Denshi developed Gear (Profile) Hardening technology, which creates forms the profile-hardened layer as shown on in the photo even a gear on small module gears. The profile hardened layer forms.
This technology allows for high impact strength strong and high toughness quality gears with high accuracy dimensional result low distortion. This has never been realized by the conventional induction hardening method.
In the past, retooling was required to heat treat several separate individual portions of a work piece. Fuji Denshi resolved this by heating several portions simultaneously resulting in increased productivity while avoiding double hardening and annealing.
Fuji Denshi has managed to heat treat 15 distinct sections simultaneously with differing parameters.
Fuji Denshi has developed a unique method of hardening to defy the common belief that Induction hardened cams are liable to crack at hardening or during the grinding process.
Our eccentric motion hardening is an innovative development that ensures a uniform hardened layer and internal stress.
Both of these are required for roller cams, which have been adopted recently.
With this method, the compressive residual stress on the surface layer is uniformly transformed on all the around of cam.
Therefore, crack does not occur during grinding process. And high-speed grinding can be done on the treated cam shaft.
The quenching process is a key factor in effective heat treatment that affects the quality and mechanical characteristics of treated parts.
Fuji Denshi has conducted innumerable tests and amassed data concerning proper quenching. Let us look at an example of the quenching process by looking at large commercial idlers. After the heating cycle the idler is lowered in into a quench tank.
The submerged work piece is shot with quenching fluid from quench jackets located in the tank. The quench fluid contains no air bubbles and the jackets circulate the fluid within the tank.
This system results in the formation of a uniformly hardened layer and controlled hardening results. This system is called the Dip, Spray, Quench method.
Furthermore, the quenching fluidユs temperature and flow are all carefully controlled.
Precision processing technology and precision equipment are supported by linear systems and ball screws which require high-tech hardening.
This is due to the fact that the unique shape and long length of these products are prone to distortion.
We at Fuji Denshi have adopted an original 2-turn coil without a core for these long work pieces.
In the case of ball screws, our system has realized a uniform hardening pattern on the top and bottom of each screw.
It has also been possible to realize stabilized hardened zone formation in the axle direction.
We can now harden work pieces over 10 m in length.
In this way, we are able to achieve the ideal hardening pattern with a certain hardening depth.
The constant hardening layer with this hardening pattern makes the pitch error constant which in turn simplifies the grinding compensation process.
Our coil design for linear rail hardening has a unique gap controller.
This method maintains a constant gap between the work piece and coil, which allows for even and concurrent heating of only the target portions.
In the past, heat treatment of high precision ball screws and gears used in the food processing machinery and Office Automation machinery industries resulted in the formation of scales and required post heat treatment processing such as shot peening and grinding.
As a result, impurities, such as filings or sand, reduced the ball screw’s precision and quality.
Fuji Denshi’s “non oxidizing high frequency induction hardening” is a single-shot heating method that achieves ideal high precision heating while avoiding the formation of scales.
Large size commercial gears are high load items that are often accompanied by problems such as inconsistent hardening and distortion.
Fuji Denshi's circumferential single-shot hardening system heats the entire perimeter of the gear with high power in one step which results in even heating. After heating, the work piece is submerged and quenched by dip-spray to achieve an even hardened, high strength, high toughness and high precision result.
Bulk rubbish and non-incinerating waste is often crushed in large crushing machines. Not only are the teeth on crushing machines of unique geometry, they also require high strength, hardness and durability.
Fuji Denshi has a solid track record in heat treating such specialized parts.
From multipurpose to specialized parts, Fuji Denshi job hardens a broad range of parts.
Fuji Denshi exploits all the merits of high frequency induction hardening to ensure high strength and durability. As an example of a large scale modern part Fuji Denshi has been working on large bearings used in wind turbines we see erected increasingly all over the world.
FUJI-ELOMAT adopts an IGBT transistor element for types generating frequencies up to 100 kHz, does and an MOS-FET transistor for types generating frequencies over 200 kHz.
All of FUJI-ELOMAT converters are designed as to have P(parallel)R(resonant) C(circuits) which has allows them to overcome all the demerits disadvantages of Serial Resonant Circuit converters with serial resonant circuits.
Especially, the converter has been improved in consideration of using induction hardening in which the heated material characteristics has changed over at the temperatures of above the curietransformation point.
Since it featuringes lower voltage output and high e-efficiency power conversion, the FUJI-ELOMAT could can supply various frequencies to quite different coils of various shapes of coils which require quite different voltages.
F.S.S. is the a unique synthesis system to that suppliesy flexible frequency power to several hardening applications in parallel simultaneously.
Real The real-time monitoring control panel collecting collects information/data on all the branched machines' parameters and the conditions, and which inform and it alarms provides a warning before faults down breakdown, moreover featuring process controls.
There is conceptation of information system contributes to cost reductions in the total systementire production process cost down.
Fuji Denshi's single shot hardening method delivers both significantimprovements in the quality of hardening results and excellent energy efficiency.
This contributes to remarkable reductions in operating costs
All cams are simultaneously and automatically hardened with our cam shaft hardening machine.
This results in higher productivity, with 240 cam shafts manufactured and 3,600 cam portions, hardened per hour.
In addition, significant cost reductions have been achieved.
A specialized unique line coil is additional adapted on Stem, no edge over heated, become uniform hardened layer.
4turn multi turn coil is adapted on Cup Inner grooves hardening with rotation.
Single shot hardening on this application brings high productivity and quality.
This technology contributes to your total cost and productivity.
High speed work piece transportation has been realized to use Cam handler, therefore the productivity has been improved so much.
In line production machine shortens the production lead-time compared with the conventional system.
The advantage of this system is its ability to output multiple different frequencies to different coil shapes.
The concept is quite different from those of other companies, which provide different frequencies to one coil simultaneously or alternately.
We, at Fuji Denshi, know how to find a solution from many different perspectives.
This has allowed us to realize the effective use of power and a system for voltage usage on semi-open coils and multi-turn coils.
The power is controlled according to the rotation angle of the work piece in order to make the hardened depth uniform all the way around.
This is Fuji Denshi's unique power reduction method and it contributes to the minimization of distortion.
The technology of fillet hardening has also been more fully developed.
This technology is indispensable in addressing the current trend toward high power, light weight engines.
High precision Pinion shaft was treated by Carburizing furnace,
which takes longer time treatment and Anti-carburizing treatment is also taken longer time so much matter of problem it has on daily production.

On Single shot hardening, double hardening method improves the productivity completely, moreover the uniform pattern lead lowest distortion as well as the high strength by compressed inner stress.
This is our specialized method for gears to produce profile hardening layers on around the gear surface, this resulted into quite low distortion.
High tech of control and detection on the instance heating realizes the hardening technology.
In the case of ball screws, our system has realized a uniform hardening pattern on the top and bottom of each screw.
It has also been possible to realize stabilized hardened zone formation in the axle direction.
We can now harden work pieces over 10 m in length. In this way, we are able to achieve the ideal hardening pattern with a certain hardening depth.
The constant hardening layer with this hardening pattern makes the pitch error constant, which in turn simplifies the grinding compensation process.
The conventional circle coil makes the inductive current flow in a circular direction, therefore, the bottom side cannot be sufficiently hardened to avoid overheating of the top side.
And general line coils have to use electromagnetic cores to ensure the hardened depth on the bottom side.
In this case, the core is heated or gradually deteriorated during the scan hardening, which results in an uneven hardened layer compared with the starting and finishing points.
The 2-turn line coil and 3-bridged coil we developed overcome these disadvantages with the conventional circle coil. Moreover,the 3-bridged coil can minimize the temperature difference between the top and bottom sides.
This allows for high power heating and is best for the hardening of large diameter ball screws.
We have achieved to establish simultaneously and automatic cam quenching which can manufacture 240/h and 3600 sections resulting in overall cost reduction.
For those work which each cam and journal are placed side by side, by using our uniquely produced outlet ring, the ring will insulate any effect towards unnecessary parts.
Also, by adjusting bearing and cam, other types and shapes of camshaft can be processed.
We will gladly support prototyping, quality inspection, equipment installation, and maintenance of equipments after installation.
*Please consider us for prototyping, manufacturing by commissioning, and buying equipments.

When quenching pins and journals of crankshaft simultaneously, miniaturizing transformers (disk transformer) or quenching towards the same direction as turning pins allows formation of a quenching layer along a pin diameter.
“Power reduction method,” top and bottom uniformed quenching technique by reducing the output on the pin top for R-quenching, can minimize the possibility of distortion.
The above quenching technique can be in-line and for such case, we will gladly design to match the customer’s request.

A high frequency quenching with a numerous track records in multi turn coil.
By applying a high frequency electrical current evenly to place where quenching is required in an inner groove, a deep uniformed quenching layer can be formed without any overheating, melting, or temperature differences.
A central coil quenching provides plentiful quenching depth for R while leaving no uneven quenching depth, uneven depth quenching, or burn deformation behind,
Since our coils are highly functional, highly durable, and highly precise, meaning, overall running cost can be reduced through less coil repair cost, less electricity usage amount, and less quality inspection process after coil exchange.

At Fuji Denshi, we manufacture and sell induction hardening machines
and also do job heat treatment.
This photo shows the hardening of an idler.
With our original technology, we achieve high strength and precision
hardening even for difficult large parts.
Our one-shot circumference hardening ensures high productivity for
large parts such as gears, idlers, and rollers.
Traditional hardening methods cannot prevent uneven hardening.
Also, when using ring coils, hardening must be done separately
on both sides of the idler.
With our methods, our original semi-open coil repeats heats with
intermittent breaks, gradually heating the rotating workpiece and
preventing unevenness.
This method also decreases total consumed power and greatly
reduces cycle time, achieving high productivity.

At Fuji Denshi, we design, manufacture, and sell induction heating machines
as well as do job heat treatment and prototype development.
The photo shows our stub shaft axle hardening and reheating machine.
The one-shot hardening method using our line coil achieves an ideal case
pattern even with the varying diameter of the workpiece, while saving energy.
The entire length of the workpiece is quenched simultaneously,
ensuring the residual heat over the part's length is even and
preventing cracking and uneven case hardness and depth.
(Even heating / Even quenching)
Heating and quenching are both even over the entire surface,
so runout is kept at a minimum even without the need for a straightening roller.
The residual stress along the axle axis contribues to large increases
in the part's durability and strength.
(2x by comparison)
Scan hardening can easily cause uneven hardness and low axial strength.
Our one-shot hardening requires only half the power of scan hardening to better results.

The photo shows the heating station of an automobile engine
camshaft pump cam induction heating machine.
To austemper the ductile iron pump cam, the cam is heated to over 1,100°C
and quenched in the adjacent salt bath.
To effectively heat the triangular shaped target area,
the rotating workpiece is heated with low frequency using a multi-turn coil
until a certain depth is reached.
After thorough calibration, we were able to meet the severe
heating specifications of minimum 1,100°C and range ±20°C
for two differently shaped target areas.
The photo shows the hardening station of a truck powertrain axle shaft induction hardening machine.
The multi-diamater axle shaft surface is evenly heated using our
semi-open line coil.
In the photo, the quenching jacket is raised, but during the actual process,
the jacket rotates 90° forward and moves down to the workpiece
for spray quenching.
The horizontally oriented workpiece is held by the centering unit,
then rotated by the straightening roller from below during heating
and quenching.
This method achieves hardening with low run out for thick, long,
and multi-diameter shafts.
The photo shows the hardening station of an automobile power train CVJ
(constant velocity joint) outer surface induction hardening and
reheating machine.
The hardened ares are the outer stem and cup grooves.
As seen in the photo, as the workpiece rotates the stem is induction heated.
The brown heating coil around the workpiece is our original semi-open line coil.
The benefits of our line coil include:
- deep hardening depth in the curved corners of multi-diameter shafts
- continuous case pattern over the shaft, curved, and flange sections
to prevent soft areas and achieve durability
- simple loading and unloading for short cycle time
With these features, this machine achieves a cycle time of
under 30 seconds per workpiece.

This is an induction annealing machine for automobile pinion shafts.
After the entire surface is hardened by carburizing, only the tip section
is annealed by induction.
Annealing does not require rapid quenching like hardening,
so the machine design is very compact.
As seen in the photo, the work is automatically loaded from the left
and carried to the annealing station.
After annealing, the workpiece is automatically unloaded.
We continue to develop machines with high productivity
using the simplest possible design.
The workpiece in the center of the hardening machine is glowing red
during heating.
The green box with handles is the coil unit, featuring a semi-open coil unit
positioned over the workpiece.
For muilt-diameter shafts, our machines are designed so the case depth is
sufficient even in the cruved corners of the shaft surface.
The workpiece shown is the thinnest and lightest of its kind in the industry,
and our machine is designed to make precision hardening possible
using our dip spray quench method and straightening roller for low runout.

[One-Shot Hardening]
During scan hardening, the beginning and end points are heated
and quenched twice, which can cause cracking or soft spots.
In contrast, our one-shot hardening achieves a sufficiently deep casing
around the whole circumference of gears up to 1.8m diameter and 15 module.
[Dip Quench Hardening]
Immediately after heating, the workpiece is submerged in quenching water
and sprayed by quenching water jackets. This prevents the formation of
an air layer around the workpiece and ensures an even casing.
By controlling the water temperature and mixing speed,
the resultant casing can be controlled to high precision.
[Inner/Outer Simultaenous Heating]
The machine can be fitted with two power sources to heat the
inner and outer surfaces at the same time.
This photo shows out automobile engine crankshaft induction
hardening machine.
This machine is installed in-line at an engine plant.
It receives the workpiece from the previous process,
performs hardening automatically, and sends the workpiece
to the next process.
The workpiece is loaded from the port on the right.
First the pins are induction hardened at the right station,
followed by the journals at the left station.
Finally the work is unloaded from the port of the left.
This particular machine is specified for flat hardening of
4-cylinder crankshafts,and shows the common features
of our machines, compactness and short cycle time.
As a result, it has a cycle time of under 45 seconds per cycle
for extremely high productivity.
The photo shows the heating station of an automobile engine
camshaft pump cam induction heating machine.

to over 1,100℃ and quenched in the adjacent salt bath.
Pictured to the right are the transistorized converter and control panel,
and to the middle and left are the hardening machine and matching panel.
Loading/unloading is done by robot, and 2 workpieces are heated
at the same time. As a result, 2 workpieces are treated in under 1 minute.
For austempering, the heated workpiece is quickly unloaded
by the robot and transported to the salt bath.
This machine was designed for extreme compactness,
as the quenching water circuits in typical hardening were not necessary.

This photo shows the hardening station of our autmobile engine
crankshaft flange hardening machine.
The workpiece is loaded/unloaded from above by robot.
After the workpiece is set on the rotating jig, the coil unit moves forward
to the heating position, and heats the workpiece as it rotates around its axis.
The photo shows the crankshaft flange being heated by the induction coil,
which is behind the green disc-shaped spray jacket.
After heating, the coil unit moves slightly back to the quenching position,
and quenching water is sprayed onto the workpiece from the spray jackets.
The photo shows our induction hardening machine for
construction machinery slew bearings.
The section hardened is the inner gear inside the ring.
This machine can treat parts up to 1300mm in diameter and
over 250kg in weight.
To provide the large energy required for heating, this machine is equipped
with a 1100kW, 10kHz converter.
While induction hardening of large gears can cause cracking and runout,
our machine achieves an even casing by heating the workpiece in two stages,
preheating and main heating, and quenching using our dip-spray method.
In the photo, the octagonal-shaped pool to the left is the dip spray tank.
The workpiece is sitting on the receive jig and diagonally above it is the coil.
During loading/unloading, the coil moves to the right, and during hardening
it moves directly above the workpiece.
Dip quenching requires a high volume of quenching water.
This machine utilizes a magnet separator and oil skimmer to remove impurities
and the quenching water is recycled into the tank.
The machine design was kept as compact as possible despite
treating extremely large workpieces.
The photo shows the hardening station of our induction hardening machine
for construction machinery slew bearings.

engine crankshaft induction hardening machine.
This type of engine is supplied for agricultural and production machinery.
This machine is installed in an overseas engine plant.
The workpiece is transported from the previous process and hardened.
Loading and unloading is done manually,
while door close → coil set → hardening is automatic.
(In recent years robotics have been implemented for loading and unloading,
resulting in an increase in fully automatic machines.)
In the photo, the crankshaft is rotated while the pin section is hardened.
The gold-colored device hanging to the left is the pin hardening coil,
and the copper-colored device attached to green insulation on the right
is the journal hardening coil.
Both pin and journal sections are hardened at the same station,
allowing for a compact machine design.
The photo shows the hardening station of our all-purpose hardening
machine for automobile parts.
This machine has two hardening stations, enabling it to harden
two different types of workpieces if equipped with different coils and jigs.
Treatable parts include:
・Shift fork

・Bracket
and other such parts for automobile transmission, which have difficult shapes
including curves and teeth.
In the photo, the teethed section of a bracket is being induction hardening
at the right-hand station.
To the left of the heated workpiece is the gold-colored spray quench jacket,
which rapidly quenches the workpiece after heating.
At the left-hand station, a lever striking is sitting on the jig ready for heating.
The photo shows our motor rotation shaft gear hardening machine.
This machine simultaneously hardens two Φ10, 100mm shafts
with a cycle time of 16 seconds.
Installed in-line at a motor production plant, the machine receives
the workpieces from the previous process,
automatically hardens the workpieces, and sends them to the next process.
The workpieces are loaded from the port to the left (near the bottom
of the control panel).
They are hardened at the left-hand station, after-cooled at the center station,
and air blowed at the right-hand station, before being unloaded from the port
on the right.
To achieve hardening quality and short cycle time, the workpiece,
a multi-diameter shaft. and is hardened by one-shot hardening
using our semi-open line coil to create a even casing along the workpiece's
outer diameter.
※In comparison, scan hardening using a ring coil requires longer cycle time,
can cause overheating at the shaft corners, and have insufficient case depth
at the curved parts of the shaft.
By exchanging the coils and jigs, this machine can several different types
of workpieces.
The photo shows the hardening station of our all-purpose single axle
double bed vertical scan induction hardening machine.
Our vertical scan induction hardening machines typical move the coil
during scanning, but this machine was designed for the workpiece
to move as specified by our customer.
The machine also can perform one-shot hardening, as seen in the photo.
The coil heats the workpiece from above and the jacket quenches it from below.
By rotating the workpiece while heating with our line coil, the multi-diameter
workpiece is heating along the whole circumference.
