Induction Heating Automotive Motor With High Frequency Induction Heating Machine
Objective Heat steel to help bond an injection molded piece and help theĀ reflow.
Material Steel motor body, 60 x 60 x 27 (2.4 x 2.4 x 1.1) mm(in)
Temperature 260ĀŗC (500ĀŗF)
Frequency 237 kHz
Equipment ā¢DW-UHF-10kW induction heating system, equipped with aĀ remote workhead containing a total 1.5 Ī¼F.
ā¢ An induction heating coil designed and developedĀ specifically for this application.
Process/Narrative A two-turn binocular coil is used to simultaneously heat twoĀ steel motors prior to the injection molding process. This helpsĀ increase the bond strength between and reflow the plastic.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
ā¢ Quicker process times with increased production ratesĀ versus a gas-fired oven. Ovens require long heat-upĀ and cool-down times.
ā¢ Significantly reduced footprint
ā¢ Reduced handling due to location of the induction coil inĀ proximity to the injection molding machine.
