Informazioni sul riscaldamento a induzione
IIl riscaldamento a induzione è un metodo rapido, efficiente, preciso, ripetibile e libero da contatto per riscaldare i metalli o altri materiali elettricamente conduttivi. Un sistema di riscaldamento a induzione comprende un alimentatore a induzione che converte la corrente di linea in corrente alternata e la eroga a una testa portapezzo e a una bobina induttrice, creando un campo elettromagnetico all’interno della bobina
