ENA TURNTABLE FURNACES / TURNTABLE FURNACE INDUSTRIAL FURNACES
Rotating table furnace or rotating table furnaces / industrial furnaces as a special form of continuous furnaces
Efficient heat treatment for highly automated processes
Turntable furnaces – Efficient industrial furnaces for automated production lines
Rotating table furnaces, also known as rotating conveyor furnaces or circular-path industrial furnaces, are specifically designed for intermittent, highly automated heat treatment processes in modern industrial production. This innovative continuous furnace design utilizes a rotating platform to efficiently transport workpieces through various temperature zones—ideal for applications with high throughput and short cycle times.
Especially in the automotive industry, for example, in the production of electric motors for electric vehicles, companies are increasingly relying on turntable furnace technology to balance speed, precision, and energy efficiency. However, this type of furnace is also being used successfully in other industries such as medical technology, aerospace, and electronics manufacturing.
Robot-based assembly and maximum automation
Our rotary table furnaces are designed to meet the requirements of automated production processes. The combination of compact design and intelligent control allows for seamless integration into robot cells and production lines. The loading and unloading of workpieces takes place fully automatically – without manual intervention.
Advantages at a glance:
Ideal for robot assembly: automated workpiece flow with constant process flow
High cycle rates: optimized for maximum quantities with minimum time expenditure
Uniform heat treatment: precise temperature control through segmented heating zones
Compact design: space-saving integration into existing production facilities
Technical characteristics and classification
A turntable furnace belongs to the group of continuous furnaces, but differs in its circular transport system. Instead of moving linearly, the workpiece carriers move on a rotating turntable, which is guided continuously or intermittently through heating zones and, if necessary, cooling areas.
Typical technical features:
Temperature range: depending on the version up to 650 °C or more
Cycle time: adaptable to the production process (e.g. <10 seconds per station)
Heating: electrically optionally controlled by zones
Atmosphere control: air, protective gas or vacuum possible
Interfaces: compatible with robot controllers, PLCs and MES systems.
This design is ideal for heat treating small to medium-sized components, such as copper windings, steel components, or hybrid-assembled units.
Flexibility and efficiency in heat treatment
Thanks to their modular design, rotary table furnaces can be precisely adapted to your requirements – from the number of stations and the size of the workpiece carriers to the type of heating and cooling. The combination of a high degree of automation, short cycle times, and small footprint makes them the perfect solution for modern Industry 4.0 production.
Compared to conventional industrial furnaces or linear continuous furnaces, rotary table furnaces often offer significantly higher energy efficiency because heat is used more specifically and heat losses are minimized.
