This application story proved that UltraFlexs advanced induction heaters are an ideal solution for time-efficient induction brazing of stainless steel assembly, ensuring precision, uniformity, and environmental safety.

UltraFlex Power Technologies, a leading manufacturer of digitally controlled induction heaters, recently demonstrated the time- and energy-efficient process of induction brazing in hydrogen environments.

This induction heating test allowed the customer to confirm the ability to use induction for his heating scenario, and the results he could expect.

This induction-based shrink-fitting process was fast, energy- and cost-efficient and produced consistent, repeatable results, independent of the operator skills. It was a process completely safe for the operator and safe for the environment, with no fumes or noxious emissions due to the lack of open flame.

Thanks to the improved timing and energy efficiency for this induction heating process, the customer would achieve better productivity rates while at the same time benefiting from reduced energy consumption.

UltraFlex is a leading manufacturer of advanced, digitally-controlled induction heaters. For this test scenario, which involved soldering RF cable to brass rivets for an antenna that boosts signal, UltraFlex engineers selected an induction heater from UltraHeat SM series as the most efficient and cost-effective choice. UltraHeat SM are compact 5 kW induction heating systems which operate with either a water-cooled or air-cooled remote heat station. They feature adaptive digital phase control pr...

Examining the parameters of the induction brazing process, UltraFlex engineers considered the UBraze hand-held brazing gun and a 15 kW induction power supply as most appropriate for this brazing scenario. UBraze is a mobile induction heating solution that can be used as a hand-held unit or can be integrated with a robotic arm for automated production lines. The durable assembly has an easy-hold grip, and a handle at the top of the unit to maximize stability. It is ideal for induction brazing of...

In this test scenario, the customer who was operating in the Fasteners industry required that two carbon steel threaded rods having 19" (482.6mm) length and 0.975" (24.7 mm) OD be heated at 148°C (300°F), achieving a heat length of 3.5" (88.9mm). UltraFlex Lab engineers considered UltraFlex induction heater from the UltraHeat SM series to be most appropriate for this heating scenario. UltraHeat SM is a compact 5kW induction heating system that operates with either a water-cooled or air-cooled...
