Heat Treatment Tray Lifters and Loaders

In heat treatment operations such as hardening, tempering, and annealing, metal parts must be moved in and out of furnaces, ovens, and quenching tanks with absolute care and precision. The motion systems responsible for lifting trays and handling components must operate reliably in extreme temperatures and under heavy loads.
