The Demig DE-VX 4310 Series
Convenient & intuitive
DE-VX 4310 Series process controllers have been available since May of 2022 as the technical successor to our successful DE- VX 4100/4200 Series. Technical hardware updates (such as CPU, memory) and a fully redesigned graphic interface based around the operating concept of our control system were included in the development. Of course, it remains compatible to current and previous Demig device generations.
The 10" display variant with membrane keypad, combined with a high-performance processor, delivers quick image composition with either a new, convenient/intuitive interface or the trusted classic interface for the user. This allows for complex graphic displays of system diagrams and procedures. All models are designed as a flat version for optimal installation. Replacement frames make it possible to update existing systems without having to change the switch cabinet cut-out.

Online diffusion calculation
(also releases the diffusion simulation in prosys/2)
Iron + carbon equals steel At a temperature between 911°C and 1392°C, the lattice changes from a body-centred cubic phase to a face-centred cubic phase. The lattice is also in a body-centred cubic phase above this temperature, but the spacing is greater compared to temperatures below 911°C.
Carbon is an important component of steel alloys, and plays a key role in adjusting component characteristics. The process of carburisation is used to adjust component characteristics in a targeted manner through partial edge carburisation. This process is particularly important, since it increases the strength and hardness of the steel.
Nitriding calculation
Nitriding processes are used to harden the surfaces of steel and other iron materials through diffusing nitrogen into the surface of a metal.
Nitrocarburising is a combination of nitriding and carburisation (e.g. diffusion of carbon). During this process, the workpiece is exposed to ammonia at temperatures of approx. 500°C to 600°C (with an added gas containing carbon during nitrocarburising, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, propane, etc.). The ammonia or added gas divides partially on the surface of the workpiece; the atomic nitrogen (or carbon) is diffused in the workpiece and forms a hardened layer. The hydrogen released during nitriding comes out of the furnace along with the undivided ammonia and is burned off.
Direct coupling of lambda sensors
A lambda sensor is a technical component for heating systems that measures the residual oxygen content in the hot exhaust gases. This value can be used to achieve an optimal mixture of combustion air and flue gases in the combustion chamber, resulting in optimal combustion and reducing emissions.
