No. 1017 is a 1,000º F high-temperature bench oven from Grieve used for various heat processings at the customer's facility. Workspace dimensions of this oven measure 22" W x 22" D x 13" H, and 3kW are installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular elements to heat the oven chamber, while a recirculating blower provides airflow to the workload.

Screw unions on thin walled materials require complex additional operations like e.g. the welding on of a nut. The so called flow drilling process can form the thread directly in the arising passage, thereby making this additional operation unnecessary. Suhner and Flowdrill are collaborating in this field of specialized technology.
