Sykes-Pickavant offer a range of heavy-duty induction heaters for various workshop applications.
Induction heating uses a rapidly alternating magnetic field to generate heat directly within the target material. This method offers several advantages over traditional flame-based heating:
- Safety: Induction heating eliminates the risk of open flames, creating a safer work environment.
- Efficiency: Heat is generated directly within the workpiece, minimising heat loss and reducing energy consumption.
- Precision: Induction heating allows for targeted heating of specific areas, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding materials.
Applications of Induction Heaters:
- Unlocking seized bolts and nuts: Induction heating can quickly and efficiently expand fasteners, allowing for easy removal without damaging threads.
- Replacing pins or bearings: Precise heating facilitates disassembly without harming surrounding components.
- Straightening metal: Controlled heating allows for careful straightening of bent parts.
- Preheating for welding: Induction preheating reduces welding time and improves weld quality.
- Bending: Localised heating simplifies the bending process.
- Thermal treatments: Induction heating can be used for a variety of thermal treatments, such as hardening or annealing.
