Running the Simulation: Tempering Ovens

The tempering ovens have Oven Controls, Test Run Graphs and Test Run Stats similar to the hardening furnace.

After clicking on Oven Controls, click on Oven 1 or Oven 2 in the picture to bring up the oven controls. To get an explanation of the controls, click on the box with the question mark.
In the Test Run Temperature Profile box, click on Test Run Graph. Then select either oven 1 or oven 2 and press the Do Test Run button to see a graph of the oven temperatures.

Figure 7. The tempering ovens menu.

When you are statisfied with the hardening furnace settings and the tempering oven temperatures, you are ready to begin production. The starting default values make good trial settings.
In the main menu, click on Production Run.
In Set Run Parameters make the production run size 1000 blades, sample size 3. In Begin Production Run, click on the Start Production button.
