What is induction bonding?
Induction bonding uses induction heating to cureย bonding adhesives. Induction is the main method forย curing adhesives and sealants for car componentsย such as doors, hoods, fenders, rearview mirrors andย magnets. Induction also cures the adhesives in composite-ย to-metal and carbon fiber-to-carbon fiber joints.ย There are two main types of automotive bonding: spotbonding,
which heats small segments of the materialsย to be joined; full-ring bonding, which heats completeย joints.
What are the benefits?
DAWEIย Induction spot bonding systems ensure preciseย energy inputs for each panel. Small heat affected zonesย minimize total panel elongation. Clamping is notย needed when bonding steel panels, which reducesย stresses and distortion. Each panel is electronicallyย monitored to ensure that energy input deviations areย within tolerances. With full-ring bonding, a one-sizefits-
all coil reduces the need for spare coils.
Where is it used?
Induction is the preferred bonding method in the automotiveย industry. Widely used to bond steel and aluminumย sheet metal, induction is increasingly employedย to bond new lightweight composite and carbon fiberย materials. Induction is used to bond curved strands,ย brake shoes and magnets in the electrotechnical industry.
It is also used for guides, rails, shelves andย panels in the white goods sector.
What equipment is available?
DAWEIย Induction is theย professionalย induction curingย specialist. In fact, we invented induction spot curing.
The equipment we deliver ranges fromย individual system elements such as power sourcesย and coils, to complete and fully supported turn-keyย solutions.
