PRODUCTION LINEHEAT TREATMENT

SPECIALIST HEAT TREATMENT PROCESS

Eurotherm has a range of products and services designed to

meet the audit regulations for heat treatment. Regulations

fall into two main categories and Eurotherm provide

solutions to meet both requirements.

Prescriptive quality systems such as the Aerospace

Industry standard Nadcap

Company quality manual processes such as the

Automotive Industry Standard QS9000 and TS16949

Nadcap

The defining regulations for the Aerospace industry are laid

out in the National Aerospace and Defence Contractors

Accreditation Programme (Nadcap). For Heat Treatment,

Nadcap has specific audit requirements covered in AS7102

and the audit criteria AC7102. Eurotherm are committed to

helping customers achieve the demands of this specification

and the associated Thermal processing specification AMS2750

Rev D.

Incorporation of Nadcap requirements into product

design for Control Instrumentation and Data

Management equipment to aid compliance

Incorporation of user routines into Control

Instrumentation and Data Management products to aid

systems accuracy test (SAT) compliance

World renowned control algorithms to aid accurate

performance against defined thermal profiles

Special routines to eliminate thermal overshoot and

achieve guaranteed thermal soak times

Soft-wired control solutions to accommodate workload

thermocouples monitoring

The provision of equipment and services to aid

temperature uniformity surveys (TUS) to nationally

accredited standards

Secure local and remote data recording at every level,

local and plant-wide

Routines for recipe revision control and recording of

selected recipe profile against actual furnace performance

Special routines and input types to support accurate

control of furnace vacuum and atmospheres

Audited regulations for Heat Treatment

w w w. e u r o t h e r m . c o m / h e a t - t r e a t m e n t

Electronic Records

Secure process values and setpoints (including audit trail

for alarms, events, operator actions, recorded logins,

operator notes and electronic signatures)

Protection of data through binary compressed and

check summed records

Batch entry details embedded in process data records

Accurate time stamps against automatic Time

Synchronised clock source

Secure data archiving with automatic file backup and

transfer to aid long term data archiving routines

Provision for electronically copying data for archive

Export facility allowing viewing of secure records in

human readable format

Remote channel access to record loaded recipe, setpoint

profiles, and furnace atmosphere

The Heat Treatment and Metals industries are subject to multiple standards, dependant on the final markets being

served. The ability to meet the standards and to prove compliance at audit is central to the success of a Heat

Treatment business.

Electronic Signatures

Control and Data Management equipment protected

by secure password routines

All actions can be configured to require password

entry or operator sign in

Audit trail and password features are available to log

actions and prevent unauthorised control system use

Support for electronic signatures

ISO9000 and ISO/TS16949

For many years the Automotive industry has worked in an

environment of continuous process improvement. The quality

standard ISO/TS16949 is used by the world’s major

Automotive companies.

Confidence in the performance of thermal processing

equipment, and sure knowledge of the security of process

records, leads suppliers to define clear procedures into their

quality manuals and improvement systems.

Eurotherm builds accuracy, performance and consistency into

their systems, to ensure that customers can have complete

confidence in their heat treatment equipment.
