Note: Bonding a Gasket to a Sombrero Nut
Objective:
To heat a steel sombrero nut prior to gasket bonding
End Product:
Sombrero nut
Equipment:
Ambrell 3.5 kW induction heating system, equipped with a remote workhead containing two 1.5 μF capacitors for a total of 0.75 μF
An induction heating coil, designed and developed specifically for this application
Materials:
Steel sombrero-shaped nut approx. 2 in (50.8 mm) diameter, 2 in (50.8 mm) in height
Temperature:
350 °F (176 °C)
Frequency:
266 kHz
Testing:
A multi-turn pancake coil is used to preheat the nut. It is then transported to the next station where it is pressed onto a gasket for bonding
Benefits:
-
Even distribution of heat that carries through to the bonding station
-
Hands-free operation that involves no operator skill for manufacturing
