Our applications laboratory has considerable experience with a variety of soldering applications and would be happy to review your fiber optics soldering application.
Curing Ceramic FiberA special steel tube and coil combination is used to build an induction heating oven to cure the fiber on a continuous basis. The ceramic fiber travels in an alumina tube inside a hot steel tube
Heating a Kovar Ferrule for Glass Soldering
The solder formed a relatively uniform domed seal around the fiber despite the asymmetry of the open C coil. It took under 10 seconds to heat the part to soldering temperature
Hermetic Sealing a Ferrule & Fiber Optic Cable
To heat a Kovar ferrule and fiber optic cable to 297°F within 10 seconds for a soldering application, to form a hermetic seal
Solder Fiber Optic Cable to Ferrule & Preform
Induction heating provides rapid localized heat only where needed, repeatable, consistent results with clean, controllable joints
Hermetically sealing a fiber optic cable in a kovar ferrule
Induction heating provides instant start up time, requiring very little power resources, pin point accuracy, a clean source of heat which is easily integrated into existing automated systems
Curing Epoxy On A Laser A Laser Diode Assembly
To heat epoxy on a laser diode assembly to 250°F within 5 seconds for a curing application
Induction Melting Glass for Fiber Drawing
To heat a metal susceptor vessel to 2200°F within 25 minutes with induction for a fiberglass melting application
Soldering Ferrule and Module Assembly
To heat ferrule and module assemblies for a soldering application in the fiber optics industry.
About Induction Heating
Induction heating is a fast, efficient, precise and repeatable non-contact method for heating metals or other electrically-conductive materials. The material may be a metal such as brass, aluminum, copper or steel or it can be a semiconductor such as silicon carbide, carbon or graphite. To heat non-conductive materials such as plastics or glass, induction is used to heat an electrically-conductive susceptor, typically graphite, which then transfers the heat to the non-conducting material.
Read our 4-page brochure; learn more about how the science of induction technology can solve your precision heating problems.
Induction Heating Work Coils
The work coil is the component in the induction heating system that defines how effective and how efficiently your work piece is heated.
