inTEST Corporation (NYSE American: INTT), a global supplier of innovative test and process solutions for use in manufacturing and testing across a wide range of markets, including automotive, defense/aerospace, energy, industrial, semiconductor and telecommunications, announced today that its Ambrell Division has released a new line of Induction Heating Systems that are reduced in size and weight to meet customer requirements. “The number one customer request we receive is for smaller equipment,” noted Scott Nolen, VP and Ambrell General Manager. “With the release of our Compact EKOHEAT® and the reduced size workheads we meet this requirement. By integrating Ambrell products into their overall systems, our customers derive benefit from improved efficiency, lower cost of operation, and smaller footprint on the factory floor.”

Building on the success and popularity of the first two PRO Skills Webinars covering Induction Heating Fundamentals and Induction Coil Design, Dr. Girish Dahake, Ambrell’s Senior Vice President, Global Applications, has developed a third complimentary educational webinar. The new webinar will cover Induction Brazing and Soldering and be held on June 16th at 11 am ET.

A client contacted THE LAB at Ambrell because they needed to heat silver bars to 1200 ºF (649 ºC) for a forging application. The end product was a collectible coin. THE LAB at Ambrell determined that an EKOHEAT^Ⓡ 125 kW, 2-6 kHz induction heating power supply with a workhead and twenty-turn helical coil specifically designed for this forging application would meet this application's requirements.

A client contacted THE LAB at Ambrell because they needed to heat brass contacts to 800-1200 ºF (427-649 ºC) for an annealing application. THE LAB determined that an Ambrell EASYHEAT^TM 3.5 kW, 50-150 kHz induction heating system with a single position three-turn helical induction heating coil would be the right solution for the application. The frequency for the application was 360 kHz.
