Automotive Applications

for Precision Induction Heating


Bonding Rubber Gaskets, Adhesive Curing, Soldering Flex Circuits, Brazing Hydraulic Hose Assemblies, Shrink Fitting Camshaft Gears, Heat Staking Metal-to-Plastic

Automotive applications for induction

Within the automotive industry, induction heating has traditionally been used in the manufacture of large-scale parts for the main body, engine, electrical, steering, fuel and exhaust systems. With the broad operating frequency range of our Ameritherm RF power supplies, we're able to heat parts of virtually any size. Larger parts such as camshaft gears can be heated at lower frequencies while smaller parts such as flexible electrical circuits are effectively heated at higher frequencies.

Brazing, soldering, molding, adhesive curing, annealing, hardening, heat staking metal-to-plastic, shrink fitting, bonding and many other processes all benefit from the many advantages offered by modern solid-state induction heating systems:

Maximum Repeatability

Faster Cycle Time

Pin Point Accuracy

Selective Heating

Flexible Set Up

Emissions Free

Increased Profitability

User Friendly

Reduce Scrap & Rework
