摘要:
An apparatus for induction heating of mechanical components (P) comprises a plurality of operating stations (I, II, III, IV, V) through which each component (P) is carried in sequence in order to carry out a series of operations for induction heating of the component (P). The operating stations (I, II, III, IV, V) are arranged along a circumferential path about a central vertical axis (C). Rotatably mounted about the central vertical axis (C) is a tower (T) carrying on its periphery a plurality of gripping heads (H) having respective peripheral vertical axes (10). The gripping heads (H) are each adapted to grip a respective component (P) and to carry it through the aforesaid stations (I-V) as a result of a rotation of said rotatable tower (T) about the central vertical axis (C), each head being always accompanying the respective component along the aforesaid circumferential path.
