Industrial induction heating systems
HBB Induction develops heating systems from the workpiece outward. Material, geometry, target temperature, heat profile and cycle time define inductor, frequency, power and control.
01
Frequency and power matched to the workpiece
Electromagnetic penetration depth changes with frequency, material and temperature. Heat conduction and cycle time determine the relationship between surface and core temperature.
Bars, tubes, profiles, billets and individual parts require adapted single- or multi-zone solutions.
- Material and cross-section
- Initial and target temperature
- Cycle time and throughput
02
Inductor, cooling and field guidance
Number of turns, conductor cross-section, coupling gap and flux concentrators affect efficiency and temperature distribution.
The water-cooled inductor is designed thermally and hydraulically, including flow, temperature, pressure drop, insulation and leakage monitoring.
- Coil geometry and coupling
- Field guidance
- Cooling and insulation
03
Control and series production
Pyrometry, power control, recipes and material tracking secure a repeatable thermal profile. Forging lines integrate feeding, zone power, jam detection and transfer to the press.
Commissioning validates surface, core and temperature gradients under production conditions.
- Pyrometry
- PLC, HMI and process data
- Multi-zone control
