Carb-o-Prof®

The Carb-o-Prof® process software is a comprehensive software and hardware configuration designed for open and closed-loop control of carburisation processes in chamber furnaces under a protective atmosphere. Using Carb-o-Prof® allows specific benefits of the heat-treatment process to be realized, which include

• higher product quality
• increased quality consistency
• improved reproducibility

As a consequence, operators can enjoy the following direct economic and production-related benefits:

• time and cost savings in fabrication process
• increased operator and operation safety
• efficient plant-specific maintenance

Using our process control system software AutoMag® enables autonomous, closed-loop controlled furnace systems to be interlinked to operate as fully automatic heat-treatment centres. All relevant data are stored and can be visualised and printed as heat-treatment protocols and/or production records showing all process details. Ipsen's concept of using a decentralised system of separate computers and control systems has proved very successful in the field. Data exchange and communication between stand-alone systems is handled by a local area network (LAN).
