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
Heating Four Inserts Simultaneously

To heat threaded steel studs for insertion into a plastic tail-light assembly at 450°F.
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.
