The Weimar-based hardening
plant Reese developed from the company-owned hardening
plant of the Weimar-based facility in 1992, a combine
company with a long tradition, whose 6.000 workers
produced building machinery and machines for agriculture. Since
the company has been taken over by the hardening plant
Reese five years ago, it has been converted consequently
to a universal hardening plant, which is able to offer a
wide range of heat
treatment techniques to its customers. These
customers comprise of companies of the automotive and
tool making industry as well as the mechanical
engineering and gearbox construction sector. For the case
hardening, tempering, carbonitrating and annealing a
process-controlled multi-purpose
chamber furnace line consisting of five hardening and
four age-hardening furnaces are at disposal. In a modern
vacuum furnace mainly tools are hardened and
age-hardened. An Aichelin
furnace is used for the gas-nitration and
gas-nitro-carburization. Furthermore, there are machines
for MF and HF induction hardening at disposal.

Research and development
work led to important process innovations such as the
intense cooling required for the thermal post-treatment
of precision parts. These works would be unthinkable
without the support of the material laboratory of the
Weimar-based hardening plant, which is equipped with a spectoscopic apparatus.
This device is always at the disposal for customers who
want to examine materials and damaged parts. 
The core of the Weimar-based hardening plant Reese
is a process-controlled multi-purpose chamber furnace
line consisting of nine furnaces and integrated washing
systems.
