Induction Heating Automotive Motor With High Frequency Induction Heating Machine
Objective Heat steel to help bond an injection molded piece and help theย reflow.
Material Steel motor body, 60 x 60 x 27 (2.4 x 2.4 x 1.1) mm(in)
Temperature 260ยบC (500ยบF)
Frequency 237 kHz
Equipment โขDW-UHF-10kW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead containing a total 1.5 ฮผF.
โข An induction heating coil designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process/Narrative A two-turn binocular coil is used to simultaneously heat twoย steel motors prior to the injection molding process. This helpsย increase the bond strength between and reflow the plastic.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โข Quicker process times with increased production ratesย versus a gas-fired oven. Ovens require long heat-upย and cool-down times.
โข Significantly reduced footprint
โข Reduced handling due to location of the induction coil inย proximity to the injection molding machine.
