A pallet manufacturer needed to heat magnetic steel to 300 ºF (149 ºC) for insertion into a polypropylene board and turned to THE LAB at Ambrell to design a solution. THE LAB determined an Ambrell EKOHEAT® 40 kW, 50-150 kHz induction heating system with a remote workhead  and single-turn channel coil would work well for this metal-to-plastic insertion application.

An company came to THE LAB at Ambrell needing to insert brass threaded inserts into seven locations on a plastic thermostat housing. THE LAB determined that an Ambrell EASYHEAT^TM 3.5 kW induction heating system would be the right solution for their heat staking application. Three different coils for varying patterns were designed by Ambrell's team of applications engineers and used during testing.

We are pleased to announce that the brand-new EASYHEAT Air is now available. The EASYHEAT Air is a compact air-cooled induction heating system. This 500 watt system has a frequency range of 150-400 kHz and is ideal for applications like brazing, soldering and catheter tipping. 

An organization had been using a torch for this metal-to-plastic insertion application involving heating a brass shaft, however it required multiple torches to meet their growing throughput requirements. Consequently, they wanted to see if induction heating could offer them a more efficient solution. They turned to THE LAB at Ambrell and took advantage of complimentary application testing.
