MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202637081573 A) filed by Sms Group Gmbh on July 02, 2026, for Production Line For Producing And/Or Processing Metal Workpieces.
Inventors include Lenz, Wolfgang; Peters, Matthias; and Kmmel, Lutz.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a production line (1) for producing and/or processing metal workpieces (2) conveyed in a conveying direction (R1), said production line (1) having at least one first forming device (4), a second forming device (5) connected to the first forming device (4) by means of a first transport device (60), and at least one induction heating device (3) for heating a metal workpiece (2) conveyed in the conveying direction (R1). The induction heating device (3) has a first coil (10) which is mounted so as to be positionally adjustable in a first direction (R2) in such a way that a first normal distance between the first coil (10) and a workpiece (2) located in the induction heating device (3) can be changed, and the induction heating device (3) has a second coil (20) which is mounted so as to be positionally adjustable in the first direction (R2) in such a way that a second normal distance between the second coil (20) and a workpiece (2) located in the induction heating device (3) can be changed. The induction heating device (3) has at least one energy supply device (50) which is electrically connected to the first coil (10) and/or the second coil (20) and which is designed to supply the first coil (10) and the second coil (20) with an alternating current and/or an alternating voltage in such a way that the penetration depth d of current-carrying layers of the conveyed metal workpiece (2) is less than or equal to 0.7 times the thickness extension (t) of the conveyed metal workpiece (2).
