Ambrell has been manufacturing
induction heating equipment since 1986,
with its products CE certified and with
ISO9001:2008 accreditation.
With a focus on heating solutions
and service with a prompt response,
customers can leverage its applications
lab to ensure systems are built to the
exact requirements.
Ambrell’s knowledge in induction heating
applications and the innovative spirit of
the company prove effective for a huge
variety of branches. It recently tested an
application of hermetically sealing a fibre
optic cable in a Kovar ferrule.
The materials included the PANDA PM fibre
with 0.25mm diameter, a Kovar ferrule
of 2.2mm diameter and metal enclosure
50mm x 27mm x 5.9mm thick. The
soldering process was performed adding
solder preforms and a flux with the goal of
reaching a temperature of 232ºC.
Engineers designed a single turn channel
coil while the assembly is fluxed at the
joint area and the power needed to be
applied for 15 seconds to create the
hermetic seal in the ferrule.
Due to the versatility of Ambrell’s
induction heating equipment, choosing
the right unit and determining frequency
needs were no challenge to the
engineering department. The 1.2kW
Easyheat induction heating system with
the frequency of 346kHz was equipped
with a remote workhead to achieve the
customer’s application objectives.
The Easyheat needed 15 seconds to
complete the task. The customer chose
Ambrell over competitors due to the ability
to design the single channel ‘C’ coil. The
coil heated quickly so that the heat did not
reach sensitive components in the case.
The
process
example
illustrates
numerous advantages of the use of
induction heating in the cable industry.
The Easyheat power supplies are easy
to operate. Equipped to operate over a
broad frequency range (150-400 kHz),
Easyheat is suitable for heating parts of
many geometries and compositions with
excellent power control.
