摘要 |
The present invention relates to a system and a method for quenching a heated metallic object. The system comprises
- a detector (7) for detecting the dimension of a metallic object (2),
- a furnace (3) for heating the metallic object (2),
- a quenching device (4) comprising at least one nozzle (5) for impinging a fluid (6) onto the heated metallic object (2),
- a central control unit (8) connected to the detector (7) and to the quenching device (4), wherein the central control unit (8) is embodied in such a way that the intensity of quenching is determined according to the detected dimension of said metallic object (2). |
