Overview
Multi-zone heat treating on the job site
Stresstech consoles are portable power units for heat treating in the field. Each zone has its own ramping temperature controller, so several heat treating profiles can run at the same time, and the operator enters the soak temperature directly at the console. Solid-state controllers with no moving parts reduce wear.
The QZ500-4 delivers 500 A at 80 V DC across four independent zones. The QZ1000-6 is an 87 kVA console with 1000 A and six zones, and the QZ1500-8 is a 120 kVA console with 1500 A across eight zones of 300 A. On the larger consoles, the 80 V DC output lets crews weld and heat treat at the same time without an extra power supply.
The RA1006 remote access console handles temperatures from 0 °F to 2000 °F for stress relief, with local and remote control. Wi-Fi and cell connectivity let the operator monitor and adjust temperatures from a laptop terminal, and dual DC ammeters show the current draw per heating element.
All consoles have a removable control drawer for calibration and maintenance without shipping the whole unit, DC ammeters to monitor loads and indicator lights for energized zones.

Stress relief
Controlled heating and cooling of welded joints on site, with remote control on the RA1006.
Pipe heat treating
Insulated heating elements wrapped around pipe and run zone by zone from the console.
Welding prep and fabrication
80 V DC output on the QZ1000-6 and QZ1500-8 supports welding and heat treating at once.
Recording the cycle
Temperature recorders log the heat treating profile.
