How to Choose Induction Heating Equipment?

A complete induction heating system consists of several basic components, including the induction heating power supply, the induction heating coil, the heated workpiece, and the heating device. Shanghai Junko New Energy Technology Co.,Ltd. specializes in the research, development, and production of various specifications of high and medium frequency induction heating equipment, quenching machines, and other non-standard products. The company integrates scientific research, production, and sales. Today, let's talk about how to choose induction heating equipment.

How should one choose and select induction heating equipment? Mainly, consider the following aspects:

The shape and size of the workpiece to be heated

• Induction heating equipment is suitable for larger, rod-shaped, solid materials, requiring relatively large power and lower frequency.

  
  

• Smaller, tubular, plate-like, gear-shaped items can be used with relatively lower power and higher frequency induction heating equipment.

The required heating depth and area

• For deep heating, large areas, and overall heating, select induction heating equipment with high power and low frequency;

  
  

• For shallower heating depths, smaller areas, and larger heating areas, choose induction heating equipment with relatively lower power and higher frequency.

The required heating speed

The heating speed of induction heating equipment should be relatively high, and the frequency should also be relatively high.

Equipment connection time

For longer continuous working times, the induction heating equipment should have relatively larger power.

The connection distance between the sensor components and the equipment

If the connection length is long and even requires the use of water-cooled cables, then higher power induction heating equipment should be used.

Process requirements

• General processes such as quenching and welding have relatively low processing volumes and higher frequencies;

  
  

• For processes like annealing and tempering, choose higher power and lower frequency;

  
  

• For processes like punching red, hot forging, and melting, which have high thermal effects, choose high power and low frequency.

Workpiece material

• For metal materials with relatively high melting points, choose higher power; for those with relatively low melting points, choose lower power;

  
  

• For low resistivity, choose higher power; conversely, choose lower power.
