Automations for Heat Treating Operators

Set up, operate, or tend heating equipment, such as heat-treating furnaces, flame-hardening machines, induction machines, soaking pits, or vacuum equipment to temper, harden, anneal, or heat treat metal or plastic objects.

O*NET occupation: Heat Treating Equipment Setters, Operators, and Tenders, Metal and Plastic (51-4191.00). The software list and tasks below come from that record, not from guesswork.

What we can build for heat treating operators

The job’s documented tasks, most important first. Each is a request away.

  1. Read production schedules and work orders to determine processing sequences, furnace temperatures, and heat cycle requirements for objects to be heat-treated.Quote it
  2. Determine flame temperatures, current frequencies, heating cycles, and induction heating coils needed, based on degree of hardness required and properties of stock to be treated.Quote it
  3. Record times that parts are removed from furnaces to document that objects have attained specified temperatures for specified times.Quote it
  4. Determine types and temperatures of baths and quenching media needed to attain specified part hardness, toughness, and ductility, using heat-treating charts and knowledge of methods, equipment, and metals.Quote it
  5. Examine parts to ensure metal shades and colors conform to specifications, using knowledge of metal heat-treating.Quote it
  6. Adjust controls to maintain temperatures and heating times, using thermal instruments and charts, dials and gauges of furnaces, and color of stock in furnaces to make setting determinations.Quote it
