HardLine M – Modular Vertical Hardening Machine

1

The HardLine M is a highly flexible modular vertical hardening machine designed for diverse hardening and tempering applications. It supports a wide range of workpiece sizes in weight, length, and diameter, making it ideal for both small-quantity jobs and heavy-duty components.

The HardLine M features advanced PLC-based machine control with real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, and industry-leading data automation. It is built with high-quality modules ensuring long-term reliability, reduced maintenance requirements, and low operating costs. The machine is also future-ready, supporting Industry 4.0 with IoT connectivity, remote service, augmented reality troubleshooting, real-time data acquisition, and system digitization via optional extension modules.

Numerous machine configurations are available, including single/twin spindle, universal spindle, dual-station systems, and rotary table versions. The system can be used for both ramp-up manual loading and later upgraded to fully automated loading systems as production volumes increase.
