Other application is shrinking fitting of gear wheels.
Car door bonding. Adhesive induction curing process
In modern production, more and more parts are being bonded, replacing various other fastening systems. To achieve fast curing when using reactive adhesives and thus a short cycle time, induction technology is used. In contrast to an oven or other large-area heating sources, the area to be heated on a component can be very precisely limited to a very small area. The heat is introduced into the workpiece by means of induction and thus also heats the adhesive that is used. The reaction time of the adhesive is considerably shortened by this heat input, and the thermal load on the workpiece is reduced to a minimum.
Induction drying of coated brake discs
Induction heating is suitable for a variety of surface treatments such as protection against contact corrosion, surface coating, drying, or cleaning. For example, steel or steel-aluminium brake discs, wheel hubs or completely assembled wheel bearings are partially or completely coated and dried and baked with the help of the inductive heat applied. For these applications, we at GH Induction supply the induction technology for heating the treated surfaces to manufacturers in the surface treatment industry or directly to the corresponding end customers.
