The coil is a critical component of any induction heating solution. Ambrell designs coils for its own systems and can also manufacture coils for other induction heating systems when a drawing is provided. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality coils with a focus on precision and reliability that meet the demands of our customers.

The Coil's Critical Role in Induction 

An induction coil, essentially a copper conductor shaped into a specific configuration, generates a magnetic field when an alternating current passes through it. This magnetic field penetrates the workpiece, inducing an electrical current within it. The resistance of the workpiece converts this induced current into heat, offering considerable control over the heating process.

Ambrell's Coil Manufacturing Expertise

Our state-of-the-art coil manufacturing facility has a fabrication shop that is equipped to handle a wide range of coil designs, from simple helical coils to complex multiple-turn configurations. Our skilled engineers from THE LAB at Ambrell work closely with customers to understand their specific heating requirements and design coils that deliver desired performance.

Key Considerations in Coil Design

  • Coil Configuration: The shape and size of the coil are crucial factors in determining the heating pattern and efficiency.

  • Number of Turns: The number of turns in the coil influences the magnetic field strength and, consequently, the heating.

  • Cooling: Proper cooling is important to prevent overheating and maintain the coil's integrity.

  • Material Selection: The choice of copper tubing and insulation materials impacts the coil's durability and electrical performance.

Our Comprehensive Approach

Ambrell's commitment to excellence extends beyond coil manufacturing. Our team of experts offers a comprehensive process, including:

  • Coil Design: Our lab provides feasibility testing where we design a coil that meets your unique requirements.

  • Coil Fabrication: Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to build coils from our testing.

  • Coil Testing and Validation: Rigorous testing to ensure optimal functionality as we test coils for our systems after they are manufactured to ensure quality.

  • Field Service and Support: Providing on-site assistance and troubleshooting if desired.
