A three turn helical coil is used to heat the brass bushing. The brass bushing is heated for 2 seconds and then placed on the wire connector & pressed into position.

Heating magnetic steel for insertion into polypropylene for pallet manufacturing

Heating magnetic steel for insertion into polypropylene for pallet manufacturing

Induction heating provides 'greener' manufacturing of pallets using reusable, recyclable materials, hands-free heating that involves minimal operator skill for manufacturing and even distribution of heating

Inserting threaded brass parts into plastic thermostat housing

Inserting threaded brass parts into plastic thermostat housing

This application has three different coils for varying hole patterns. A three turn oblong coil is used to heat 2 brass inserts in close proximity.

Inserting a piston stop with o-ring into an oil pump assembly

Inserting a piston stop with o-ring into an oil pump assembly

Induction heating provides increased production speed, simpler tooling for customer, hands-free heating that involves no operator skill for manufacturing

Bonding of electric motor shaft to nylon face fan

Bonding of electric motor shaft to nylon face fan

Induction heating provides hands-free heating that involves no operator skill for manufacturing, only the metal shaft is heated so the motor is not affected, increased production due to rapid heating, decreased failure rate, originally used glue which ran into motor and caused failure and stronger bond
