Process and control requirements
| Application | What to review |
|---|---|
| Wire spheroidizing | Review steel grade, coil loading, heating and cooling profiles, and surface decarburization limits. |
| Bright tube annealing | Specify the surface finish and the atmosphere needed for the alloy. Review moisture, oxygen ingress and furnace sealing. |
| Continuous gas supply | Size generation and distribution for simultaneous demand, including startup and peak loads. Define monitoring points and how supply will be maintained during service. |
Project case study
Mubea Mexico · steel tube annealing
In June 2025, Gauss delivered an ENDOMATE 80A dual-cell RX generator for Mubea’s automotive steel tube annealing line in Mexico. Gauss engineers carried out installation, commissioning and a heat treatment trial. The published project describes integration with the furnace through analog signals and S7-TCP.
