The heating station for forging blanks "PN" is designed to heat forging blanks to a temperature of 105-1100 °C by induction one by one with subsequent manual transfer of the blank under the press.

The heating station "PN" consists of the following main units:
- thyristor power supply,
- capacitor bank,
- heating table 2 pcs.,
- electrical and water distribution,
- a set of replaceable inductors in the amount of 8 pcs.

The "PN" station is a structure consisting of two independent workstations.
The heating table is designed to accommodate replaceable inductors for heating blanks and is the main workstation.
The capacitor bank, power cabinet and heating control panels included in the electrical part of the TPChT-250 are designed to power and control the heating station.

Operating principle.
The work of the forging blank heating station consists of heating the blanks by induction to a certain temperature and manually (using tongs) transferring the heated blank under the press.
Replaceable inductors have thermal and electrical insulation made of modern materials.
The thyristor frequency converter "TPChT-250" is designed to power installations for induction vacuum and open melting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, through heating, induction heating of parts for stamping.
The power source control system is built on a modern element base and provides smooth power regulation and temperature measurement of the heated part. Allows you to create a minimum output power, kW 5-10 ± 10%, maximum power, kW 180 ± 10%. The heating control panel has readings of the heating temperature of the blank.
