Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Behandeln von Werkstücken, bei dem die zu behandelnden Werkstücke in einem Ofen in mehreren horizontalen Ofenebenen (E1 ... En) erwärmt werden. Jede der vertikal übereinander angeordneten Ofenebenen (E1 .. En) befindet sich jeweils in einer Höhe (h1 ... hn) und kann wenigstens ein zu erwärmendes Werkstück aufnehmen. Nach der Erwärmung werden die Werkstücke in einer definierten Reihenfolge aus den Ofenebenen (E1 ... En) wieder entnommen. Für die Entnahme der erwärmten Werkstücke werden die Ofenebenen (E1 ... En) schrittweise vertikal bewegt und dadurch die jeweiligen Höhen (h1 ... hn) der einzelnen Ofenebenen (E1 ... En) verändert. Die schrittweise vertikale Bewegung erfolgt so, dass die Höhe (h1 ... hn) der jeweiligen Ofenebene (E1 ... En), aus welcher wenigstens ein erwärmtes Werkstück entnommen wird, einer fest definierten Entnahmehöhe hx entspricht und dass sich dabei die jeweilige Ofenebene (E1 ... En) für eine Zeitdauer t > 0 auf der Entnahmehöhe hx befindet.

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a method for treating workpieces, in which the workpieces to be treated are heated in a furnace in a plurality of horizontal oven levels (E 1 ... E n ). Each of the vertically stacked oven levels (E 1 .. E n ) is in each case at a height (h 1 ... h n ) and can accommodate at least one workpiece to be heated. After heating, the workpieces are removed from the oven levels (E 1 ... E n ) in a defined sequence. For the removal of the heated workpieces, the oven levels (E 1 ... E n ) are moved stepwise vertically, thereby changing the respective heights (h 1 ... h n ) of the individual oven levels (E 1 ... E n ). The stepwise vertical movement takes place in such a way that the height (h 1 ... H n ) of the respective furnace plane (E 1 ... E n ), from which at least one heated workpiece is removed, corresponds to a defined removal height h x and the respective furnace level (E 1 ... E n ) is at the removal height h x for a time t> 0.
