Induction heater is used for induction heating of tubes and rod ends with circular cross-section up to forging temperature. It consists of input mechanisms, a heater box (with a built-in frequency converter) and an inductor.
Input mechanisms are designed in a way enabling two ways of putting cold pieces in.
Due to the following technology of processing the heated pieces, the heater is equipped with central uplift which enables to adjust the height of the inductor axis in the range of ± 25 mm.
The induction heater is controlled by Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) made in Unitronics. The operation is done from the control box with buttons and the communication panel. All failures of the heater are displayed in text on this panel, including the instructions for troubleshooting.
