A client came to THE LAB at Ambrell needing to heat two pairs of fishhooks inside a steel tube for a brazing application. The end product was an anchor. The target temperature for the brazing application was 1200 ºF (649 ºC). THE LAB determined that an Ambrell EASYHEAT^TM 1.2 kW, 150-400 kHz induction heating power supply with a custom-designed single position multiple-turn helical coil would meet the client's objectives.
