IHG series 50 kHz to 250 kHz high frequency induction heaters can quickly heat most metals that other frequencies can not heat efficiently, like aluminum and metal powders. And uniquely they can heat parts from a distance. These heaters are the ideal tools for fine steel wires (such as those used in dentistry) annealing, small precision shaft quenching, hard alloy saw blade brazing and metal powders melting.
Induction heating does not involve the external application of heat but rather the internal generation of heat in the workpiece itself. This process dispenses with long heating periods and enables the limited introduction of heat in a local and precisely timed manner, thus achieving a high degree of efficiency and maximum exploitation of energy. When compared with conventional heating methods, induction heating achieves maximum levels of quality and efficiency across a practically unlimited range of applications.
IHG20AB Induction Heater Features
- Specially designed for heating and welding thin metal parts, blades and melting of small quantity of metallic materials, ultra fast.
- Ease of use: just plug in the power and connect the water cooling system, our simple instruction allows you to use the heater in 15 minutes.
- Precise control with digital output, frequency and current displays.
- Remote foot switch for safer operation.
- Dual automatic and manual modes.
- Optional graphite, MgO and SiO2 crucibles available. (melting material decides crucible type, weight and size of the material decide crucible size)
- Frequency is non-adjustable, it depends on the coil design (diameter of turns, numbers of turns, copper tubing diameter and total length).
- ISO 9001:2008 registered manufacturer.
Safety Features
- Overvoltage protection: machine shuts down when input voltage is over 245V. Overvoltage light will turn on and buzzer will sound continuously. Alarm and light shut off automatically when voltage goes below 245V.
- Overheat protection: if sensor detects IGBT heat sink temperature is over 55⁰C, machine will shut down, overheat light will turn on and buzzer will sound continuously. Increase water pressure or lower water temperature until alarm goes off itself.
- Overcurrent/malfunction protections: machine will shut down, indicator light will turn on and buzzer will sound continuously if one of these situations occurs:
One of the machine parts becomes overheated.
Interfering signal detected.
Short circuit between work pieces and induction coils
Machine failures.
Induction coils touching each other.
The input voltage is too low.
Low water pressure protection: if water pressure goes below 29 PSI.
Important
- Always wear protective gear including goggles when operating the machine. Crucibles must be covered at all times during operation. Across International is not responsible for any injury or damage caused by misuse.
- Running without a work-piece for extended periods of time may cause damage to the machine.
- Circulating water must be pure, soft and below 45C.
- Machine must be grounded properly at all times.
- Absolutely no thread tape (or related material) may be used in the installation of induction coils.
